The xfree maintainers are focusing on the testing distribution at the moment because of some kinda feature/package freeze is coming up. 4.2 is what 'testing' uses so their not concerned with 4.3 at the moment.

xfree86 is always a pain for Debian because it has to work on 12 hardware architectures and the xfree86 folks only aim to get it working on i386. Maintaining the xfree86 package is as much a programming task as it is a packaging task, they work hard :)
