Sorry for replying so lately..
As a general rules A/DeMuDi tries to stick to Debian as much as
possible. I've included the xorg package in A/DeMuDi 1.2.1, because at
that time there was no Debian xorg package; the xorg server and the
kernel are the only significant "forks" from Debian (sarge) .
Guenter is right, when you split-off you have the responsibility of
what you do. When a new release of A/DeMuDi will approach I'll take
care of possibly upgrability issues as this.
Cheers,
Free
