That's not the whole story.
The x.org project removed some "domain I/O code", which was for big SGI Altix machines.
Unfortunately x.org introduced a bug in the X server 1.12 with that change, which prevented some x video drivers from buiding on ia64.
The bug is fixed, see Debian bug#685750; the Debian ia64 buildds built the mentioned video drivers in the meantime.
I just want the former dependencies.
Best regards
