Thanks for the link to that code sample! Implemented and ready to sponsor:

If there is a standardized debian/rules stanza for overriding this for X drivers, I would love to hear about it. Cheers!

I've been using this:
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- \
--disable-silent-rules \
--libdir=\$${exec_prefix}/lib
See e.g.

For drivers however, at least when using dh_auto_configure, that requires overriding its multiarch libdir setting to keep things under /usr/lib/xorg/modules. But there's no specific reason to avoid bumping to 9 AFAIK. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I was actually wondering when 1.17 would enter unstable. :) Btw, I notice that XSF is still using Debhelper compatibility 8. Is there any particular reason for foregoing compatibility 9? Cheers!

Xserver 1.17 in unstable
Hi, xorg-server 2:1.17.1-2 was intended to go to experimental but ended up in sid by mistake. Your package needs to be updated for the new server, please let debian-x know of your plans and upstream status. Also for free drivers, please let us know if you'd like us to NMU. Sorry for the unintended breakage. Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature
