Many packages depend on the old xpm package name; they should use "libxpm4"
instead. If they are rebuilt against a recent version of xpm4g, they will
get the correct dependencies.
Or, once we're in Phase 3 (release of XFree86 4.0.1 to woody), these
packages can simply be built against xlib6g.

Not sure yet exactly what Conflicts/Replaces/Provides dance I need to do to
make this smooth; I've got some but apparently it isn't enough. I guess I
should talk to James Treacy about it.

No, there is no need to conflict with the 3.x servers. We will be able to
support both (and we should, see the XFree86 4.x Driver Status document).

That should not have been necessary; see the XF86Config manual page.

/usr/bin/X11/XFree86 ? Yes, that will be necessary for a little while.

That should not have happened. I also haven't had this problem myself.
What error did you get? Did you uninstall all of your XFree86 3.x .debs
before installing these, as the README tells you to?
