This is mostly for the package maintainer in Debian to decide; often "taking the one active fork" is the only option one has, but not always the correct one. I'm sure Fathi will do the right thing once the key situation is sorted :-) Maybe Vagrant (in CC, as one of his packages depends on x11vnc) also has input on the fork.
