So far testing does a good job: rd@b370:~$ rmadison xserver-xorg-core|cut -f 1-2 -d '|' xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u6 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1+deb8u2 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.1-4 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u2 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.6-1 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.20.0-2 rd@b370:~$ and as far as I understand #900316 holds it back. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xorg-server rd@b370:~$ rmadison xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u6 | oldoldstable | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1 | oldstable-kfreebsd | kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1+deb8u2 | oldstable | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.1-4 | unstable | kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386 xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u2 | stable | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.6-1 | testing | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.20.0-2 | unstable | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x rd@b370:~$ Certainly, testing relies on some users running unstable, otherwise testing would not work. I did not want to imply that apt-listbugs would have helped you here, I just gave it a recommendation for a tool which helped me sometimes in the past (certainly not always).
