Bug#600666: xserver-xorg-video-all: wish there was a xserver-xorg-video-recent package



Hi.

Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au> (19/10/2010):

(I'd be happy to see “relatively recently” defined. Based on recent
threads, that could range from “3 months ago” to “less than 10 years
ago”.)

Users are probably either:
 - “end”-users, happy with -all.
 - advanced users, happy to install the appropriate driver.
 - advanced users, unhappy to install the appropriate driver, back to
   square 1.
