Sure, I can check this out, but the short summary is 'everything that B-Ds on either xlibs-static-dev or xlibs-static-pic'. :) There have also been a couple of other miscellaneous renames, including xlibmesa-glu -> libglu1-xorg, xlibmesa-glu-dbg -> libglu1-dbg-xorg, and xlibmesa-glu-dev -> libglu-dev-xorg (for the C++ ABI v2 transition). > > The /usr/X11R6 -> /usr transition is definitely not sid-ready yet.

Sure. I'm happy to sit out the pain in my little sandbox and see how much, if any, pain it causes. Right now, I'm still finding out issues as I go (there's an unbelievable amount of stuff that hardcodes /usr/foo/X11 and then installs to /usr/X11R6/foo/X11).
