Ok, given this I think we should begin with the monolithic tree. I feel
that we need to get this moving along, and waiting on the autotooling
doesn't make sense when we have useable packages to start from. Do you
think you could push your autotool server tree in to your public arch repo
where you keep debrix so I could take a look at it? I'd be willing to work,
at least on the X server, on packages from both the monolithic and modular
tree in parallel.
Perhaps packages derived from the monolithic tree shouldn't ever leave
experimental, but at least they'd be available.

Perhaps someone who's interested in maintaining the apps for Debian would
be willing to help?
