(moving to -dev for discussion : I pedantically demoted Glamor from
Required to Recommended on radeon (that keeps the deps) because I
hadn't been building it until yesterday.)

 OK, I didn't see that (when I scroll down that page fast its easy
to think I've moved on to a different driver).

So, although my much earlier R600 (RS780) is now using it without
any apparent problems, that combination isn't really tested.

 I could add xcb-util and xorg-server as "Required" and move
Glamor to "optional" with a comment '(Required for recent GPUs, see
"Glamor Acceleration" below)' ?

 The Glamor wiki http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/
talks about enabling it on intel.  I don't think I'll go there ;-)
