Just a note re xorg support in debian: I believe Debian is aiming to move to the x.org "modular" fork, not the plain "monolithic" fork of the old xfree86 server. With the current monolithic servers (xfree86 and xorg) an x release contains enormous amounts of software and therefore releases are infrequent. Xorg wants to change this so there are half-a-dozen different independent pieces to replace the current x package. Each piece can then be developed and released at its own pace.
