Thanks for the info. Removed as of what version of xserver-xorg-dev
exactly? I tried to parse the changelog in the unstable package,
except that it jumps from 2:1.7.7-2 to 2:1.8.1-1 in a situation when
stable has 2:1.7.7-13.

Right. Silly of me to have forgotten to check for and skip empty variables.

Correct. It doesn't affect driver performance or prevent installation.

Thanks again for this heads up!
