Sounds good to me.

Okie.

I wondered if the build-depends could be alternates i.e.
xlibs-static-pic | libxinerama-dev ?
I think that must be the one that you changed anyway.
We took the upstream 4.2.2 packages, compared them with Benny's bits and
pieces but mostly took out Benny's customisations which were XFLD
specific. (well in fact we took the 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 upstream packages -
I forget exactly when I was comparing them against Benny's packages).
I see some of those still remain in some of the Ubuntu packages.
When I get some time I'll try and merge the mixer changes in. If you
have any other bits that would help the packages build on both that you
want merged in let us know.
