Hi,

In https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/05/02/3 upstream
pointed out that xsetmode and xsetpointer are obsolete and do not
receive any fixes.
xsetpointer supposedly is broken since xorg-server 1.4.

Please drop them from the package.

Control: severity -1 minor
Is there a particular reason to make this bug important?  Both are tiny
utilities, basically making a single X request, so from my point of view
while there's likely little to no usage there's also little cost to
keeping them.

Cheers,
Julien

Right, there's probably no security importance whatsoever there.
