A possible temporary fix might be to put
#define HasShm NO
into the appropriate place in site.def / linux.cf and distribute the
.debs that way until it's fixed upstream. Of course, not doing this
will encourage more people to look for the bug... and I don't know if
XF86 will compile/work without SHM these days...
