:-) All right, all right. I know that you are in a hurry to build X.Org
in
all the architectures, but there are another bug:
SPARC:

I have not had time to search more information about this subject.

I think so. It is very 'silly' (sorry if this sounds harsh, I do not
know any
other word in English softer than silly), in my humble opinion to have
separate packages for *everything* and not use that separation in the
development packages. It pushes less load on the whole system (you only use
whatever you need): users and builders. And all these xlibs-* packages are,
as stated, for transitioning purposes.
Obviously it is going to make half of the distribution FTBFS, but
unstable is
*now* half-frozen...it is time to change, IMO. Reorganization of packages is
hard, all of us know that, and I understand that it is not for maybe -4 or
even -5, but it deserves a line in the TODO, because it is work to do. :-)
Hide it won't do it.
Best regards,
Ender.
