It worked!  Failed the manifest check of course, but the diff looked 
kosher (a few cs -> cz and sk key map moves, lots of font stuff, man 
pages moved from /usr/share/man to /usr/X11R6/man, nothing of any 
consequence to the binary-arch packages).  So I touched 
debian/stampdir/install (since the manifest check ends that target), and 
am making binary-arch now, will genchanges and dupload when it's done. 
Oh- and will test it and see whether it works!  But since 4.0.3 is 
broken, maybe it's not such a bad thing to upload 4.1.0 either way? :-\

So, ARM fails to build X under 2.2.19 because of fakeroot trouble, but 
2.4.5 is fine.  Someone may want to investigate why fakeroot fails under 
2.2.19, it seemed to work just fine for 2.2.13 but I didn't try to build 
X...
