Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22

The sun* drivers for Creator, Elite, Leo, and other Sun framebuffers are now 
packaged separately from xserver-xorg as of 7.0.  packages.debian.org 
indicates that these driver packages are "unavailable".

xserver-xorg 6.9.0 provided working drivers for at least suntgx and sunffb.

Since 7.0 migrated to Testing, there are no Xorg 6.9 packages left as 
alternatives for installations or upgrades from earlier Xorgs or Xfree86.

I managed to destroy a working 6.9 installation by upgrading to 7.0 using 
Synaptic and individual package choice.  Everything installed without 
dependency errors, leaving me with an xorg.conf file that refers to a missing 
sunffb driver file.

-- thanks, SP

Hi,
The packages in question have recently appeared in unstable and will propagate to testing shortly, so closing this bug. 

Best regards,
