Fabio Massimo di Nitto is now the package release manager, but I'll
certainly add this to the TODO list.
Thanks for the patch.

[[ Note to self: Bug #245246 ]]
Last month, BenC and I had the following exchange:

It's minus the one that wouldn't compile.
The other one is part of the package version the submitter is using:
* Apply patch by David S. Miller to implement support for RGB->BGR
colorspace conversion in the X server's fb layer.
- debian/patches/072_Xserver_fb_convert_RGB_to_BGR.diff
A few weeks ago, I asked for an updated version of the other patch:
* Apply patch by David S. Miller to implement XAA and Render support
in the sunffb driver.
- debian/patches/073_sunffb_xaa_render_fb_support.diff
If you could get a version to me that will build I'd be happy to apply
it.
However, the missing symbols that are being complained have to do with
DRI and drm, not XAA or Render.
Since then, I haven't heard anything more.
