Bug#654924: Inclusion of TigerVNC sources

yes -- this would probably be the easiest/most straightforward way at
the moment, so just keep it this way, and let me just blurb about this
alternative approach I had in mind:

one shouldn't affect the other directly, although lack of
submodules support in pristine-tar (as far I see it being absent) might
be an obstacle. What I thought is to have
xorg-server/ -- submodule in git
orig.tar.gz tarball containing full source tree including content of
xorg-server/
so the problem (nuisance) only would be the fact that pristine-tar
seems to don't know (from a quick grep) about submodules so I guess its
delta would be quite big, thus reducing the convenience of having that
submodule in the first place.

sorry -- what kind of changes did you have in mind?
atm everything seems to be "in sync":
(git)novo:~/deb/perspect/tigervnc/pkg-tigervnc[master]git
$> diff --exclude .git -Naur xorg-server /tmp/xorg-server | lsdiff
$> GIT_DIR=/tmp/xorg-server/.git git describe
xorg-server-2_1.11.4-1
