       libstdc++5-dev | libstdc++-dev, allowing libstdc++5-3.3-dev to satiffy
       the dependency, and thus allowing gcc3.2 to be removed.

+xfree86 (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=high
+
+  * the "you're damn right I'm bitter" release
+
+  * Release urgency due to 2 factors:
+    - the motivation for 4.2.1-7 wasn't actually fulfilled because of an error
+      on my part (see change to debian/xlibs-pic.install* below) (KDE
+      maintainer(s), you want this)
+    - GCC 3.3 miscompiles XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key generation and/or validation
+      routines at optimization level -O2 on more than just PowerPC; this hits
+      i386 as well.  Also, GCC 3.3 ICEs at -O2 on ARM, but not (reportedly) at
+      -O.  Therefore all of XFree86 is being stepped down to -O for all
+      architectures.  I'm loving the Brave New World of regressions that GCC
+      3.3 is bringing us -- isn't it good all of them were stopped dead in
+      their tracks before release thanks to the rigorous testing gcc-snapshot
+      buys us?
+    - Urgency also high because people apparently do not know how to use the
+      Debian Bug Tracking System, and keep reporting the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1
+      breakage over and over again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And
+      again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And
+      again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And
+      again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  So,
+      just keep doing that, folks -- the more time I spent triaging redundant
+      reports, the less time I have to spend packaging XFree86 4.3.0.
+
   * debian/control:
-    - move all -dev and -dbg packages from section devel to section libdevel
+    - move all "real" -dev and -dbg packages from section devel to section
+      libdevel (syncrhonize with Debian archive override file)
     - set priority of xserver-xfree86-dbg to extra
-    - xutils depends on cpp-3.2, because imake uses cpp
-    - add Build-Depends: cpp-3.2
-    - change xdm Depends: cpp-3.2 instead of cpp
-  * #003a_damn_cpp_3.3_to_hell.diff:
-    - from #001a patch of 4.2.1-8, remunber to #003a
-  * #004_imake_manpage_handling_overhaul.diff,
-    #900_debian_config.diff:
-    - adjust line offset to adapt #003a patch import
+    - move xlibmesa3{,-dev,-dbg} pseudopackages to oldlibs
+    - add virtual alternative libstdc++-dev to build dependency on
+      libstdc++5-dev; it's up to the build-essential package to enforce the
+      version of the C++ compiler used, and up to the administrator of the
+      build environment to ensure he/she has the correct libstdc++-dev package
+      installed
+    - add virtual alternative libstdc++-dev to xlibmesa3-glu-dev's
+      dependency on libstdc++5-dev; same reasoning as above item
+      (Closes: #194136)
+    - xutils depends on cpp-3.2, because imake uses cpp (thanks, James Troup)
+      (Closes: #196176)
+    - slight clarifications to xserver-xfree86, x-window-system-core, and
+      x-window-system package descriptions
   * debian/rules: step compile optimization level down to -O from
     Policy-required -O2 for all architectures, not just powerpc, due to GCC
-    3.3 issues
+    3.3 issues (see Debian bugs #195424,#196554,#196575,#196621, etc.)
+  * debian/xlibs-pic.install*: sigh; add usr/X11R6/lib/libxkbfile_pic.a so
+    that it's actually shipped in the package -- both LaMont and I overlooked
+    this subtle detail :-P
   * debian/{xdm.postinst.in,xdm.prerm.in,xfree86-common.postinst.in,
     xfs.postinst.in,xfs.prerm.in}: use invoke-rc.d to execute init scripts
     rather than using the absolute path of the init script itself
   * debian/local/Xsession: if $DISPLAY is set and the xmessage command is
     present, also use xmessage to create a dialog box for the message being
-    reported (based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen)
+    reported (based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen) (Closes: #179904)
   * debian/local/Xsession.5: document Xsession's new behavior
-  * debian/xdm.options.5: cosmetic and roff-stylistic fixes
-  * debian/local/*: catch up 4.2.1-8 updates
-  * debian/rules: cleanup needless comments (resync 2.4.1-8)
