Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-3
Severity: serious

This package needs the nouveau.ko kernel module which is not available
in Squeeze kernels.  It must not migrate to testing until a suitable
linux-2.6 (and preferably linux-latest-2.6) version is in place.

The sid kernel now autoloads nouveau.ko, so I've added
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to xserver-xorg-video-all, and the next
upload of xorg-server will also load nouveau_drv.so for nvidia hardware.
I think having the X driver in testing before the kernel is best for
this transition, so closing this bug.

Cheers,
Julien
