Xv client library: shared version?
Dear Mark, There has been some discussion recently on the Debian list devoted to maintaining X (see CC) about the lack of a shared version of the Xv library. There would appear to be an opinion that shared versions of the libraries should be included. Any chance you could drop a note to the list about the rationale for not including the shared library in the default XFree86 build, and whether you think there may be any issues with including such a library in the Debian version?

FreeType2 library built from xfree86_4.0.3.deb's source
I've checked and rebuilt Branden's test release xfree86_4.0.3-0pre1v2.deb. And I found a minor problem. XFree86 4.0.3 includes FreeType2 library and it will be built When defined `HasFreetype2 NO'.

Building FreeType2 is not needed because Debian has the FreeType2 library (libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev).
