Bug#646987: /usr/bin/xinit: xinit fails with xkbcomp could not be invoked

["Brenda J. Butler" <bjb@sourcerer.ca>]

Cannot build:  I probably did something wrong, but what?



did apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg

then tried fakeroot debian/rules binary and had to install
quilt and xutils-dev separately because they didn't get
installed with build-dep, then this:

bjb@blueeyes:~/projects/xserver-xorg/xorg-server-1.10.4$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh_testdir
autoreconf -vfi

I see that 1:7.5+8 is the latest for squeeze.
