It's not a big concern.

A task package will have to deal with some/all of these.

Not sure yet what the best strategy for moving to xserver-xfree86 is yet.
Remember:
* Not everyone will be able to; some legacy hardware is only supported by
3.3.6.
* A new XF86Config file has to be generated for the new server.

Like everything else in these test released, xdm is unstripped. Please
consider running it from within gdb (as root, of course); that may help
track it down. An strace might reveal the culprit too, especially if it
stalls polling some port or something.

libGLU is not provided by XFree86. It will have to be split into its own
package. The Mesa maintainer knows about it and will take care of it when
he gets a chance.
