Bug#372067: xserver-xorg-video-mga: Please explicitly say in the package description and man page what the driver is capable of
as of recently, it was not clear to a non-x-expert even with
nontrivial google searching:
whether the open source driver is sufficient for simple 2d dvi use
with magic settings -- or not
whether the tuxx driver is nec or sufficient -- or has issues
how to best vet the tuxx driver for security (the author seems like a
great guy, btw)
whether the ubuntu .deb will work on etch (how to check its signature
from etch is probably easy but requires work to find out how)
whether feisty would work
how likely any of the above are to break upon an upgrade of x (or libraries)

Webmaster: do you believe that people will (a) switch browsers to view
your "best viewed with" page or (b) go to your competitor?
