What is the time schedule for pre2, i will try to build it and provide
more SDK patches before it.
Also, the current SDK patches i provide re-use certain header files from
xlibs-dev, while it could make sense to have all those headers in the
SDK. What is the opinion of the debian X team on this ? I suppose the
SDK package could simply depend on the xlibs-dev of the same version,
and there should be no problem because of it.
