Eh, I didn't mean to give the impression that it was a buildd problem
- I don't believe it is, not in the sense that the buildd software is
responsible anyway.

Yes; that and the fact that xfree86 has a circular build-depends on
itself.
I realise that the cicrcular build-depends is not trivial to fix and
that the xlibs split is a once off thing, so it's easier to work
around the problem which is what I meant when I said it wasn't your
fault/problem.
