Public bug reported:
I'm sure this comes as no news, but the dependency on xorg-video-abi-10
and xorg-input-abi-12 will be bad news if and when xserver 1.11 oozes
out of its present cage in X.Org Edgers and into Oneiric repositories.
Forgive me if this is entirely misdirected. Maybe Robert or Cyril
should, or will, provide a version of virtualbox-guest-x11 based on
Debian Experimental, which does survive the ABI bump, and will thus not
croak the VM. But they do not seem so inclined if they tossed out
xserver-xorg-video-vmware from video-all because it fails to build
against xserver 1.11 on amd64.
