Unfortunately, The XFree86 Project, Inc.'s decision to change the
XFree86 source distribution's licensing to be GPL-incompatible has
rendered the prospect of packaging it unappealing to the Debian Project.

We've seen no volunteers on the debian-x list, and most other GNU/Linux
and BSD distributors are avoiding 4.4 as well.

Updating this bug's attributes accordingly.
