Dear Maintainer,

like to question if there is already any effort to fix this bug.

Have already a new Xorg in queue in Debian/testing but can't install it
since of conflicts.

Here is the report of aptitude dist-upgrade:

Need to get 15.8 MB/25.4 MB of archives. After unpacking 3,657 kB will
be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcheese3 : Depends: cheese-common (= 3.4.2-2) but 3.8.3-1 is to be
installed.
 libupnp6 : Conflicts: libupnp3 but 1:1.6.6-5.1 is installed.

52)     kde-plasma-desktop recommends xserver-xorg
53)     xfce4 recommends xorg
54)     xinit recommends xserver-xorg | xserver


But I already noticed some OpenGL xscreensaver apps are now rendered
much more smoothly. Looks like an eyecandy now. :-)

Thank you for your effort.

With many greetings
