This is horribly late. And knowing about the details would be a must at this point anyway (… but well, yes, we remember the libaudit fiasco). > I believe this has been tried once before by an NMUer, and went horribly > wrong.

I won't make that mistake :-) As {a,the} maintainer of the X server, I wouldn't enjoy having to deal with possible audit-related breakages when trying to polish the X server and the X drivers for wheezy. All in all, I think “far too late” is likely to be everyone's answer. See last paragraph of: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/05/msg00004.html And it's been repeatedly announced we would likely freeze in June… Mraw, KiBi.
