Both uploaded, thanks.

I notice we still carry a patch for savage, and some changelog digging
shows it originate from:

xorg (6.8.2-71) breezy; urgency=low

  * Force 16 bit depth on savage driver.
  (Closes: #15718)

xorg (6.8.2-1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Change the default bitdepth on Savage to 24 (closes: Ubuntu#6127).

Both from 2005.  I'm wondering if we shouldn't either include that
upstream or drop the patch?  (I imagine these bug numbers come from the
long-gone ubuntu bugzilla...)

Cheers,
Julien
