Well, what of those that want to try the whole beta? Its so radically different, everything that I had in /etc/X11 got stomped on my /etc/X11 is no more. Alot of config stuff is different. So what Im asking is, how best could I have done this as to not completely fuck up the debian package database (I was unable to dpkg -r alot of stuff due to fear of also removing subsidiary packages that depended on X11). So, now my main question is, when they DO come out with a .deb or a .tar.gz with debian rules, how will I best go about not totally stomping all over everything again, and also not having unaccounted for files?
