Package: x-window-system
Version: 4.3
Severity: wishlist
It would be great if x-window-system-core (etc) depends on exact versions of
packages (i.e. xlibs 4.3.0pre1v5), so that:
apt-get install x-window-system-core/experimental
upgraded all core X packages from experimental. At the moment that command
simply upgrades the x-window-system-core package, but not the dependencies.

XFree86 is dead (at least as far as Debian is concerned), and X.Org is
modular, so exact versioned dependencies aren't possible anymore. I'm
thus closing this bug.
