X.org in Debian

X.org 7.1 packages will first (and partially have already) enter the experimental branch. Debian releases for a roughly a dozen different architectures, and porting the X.org beast to these is not easy. If you are interested in the progress of this effort, you can join the debian-x mailing list.

GIven that Debian (hopes to) get freezed soon, I see some reason not to change X version.
Anyway, I don't it as a "we won't break proprietary modules", as fglrx is already severely broken on 2.6.17 linux kernel (don't know for 2.6.16 which is currently in etch)
