OK, Richard. I'm copying my saucy packages for xorg-server to Multiseat PPA right now. You can provide the patches backporting to raring, as you will.
About my problems with Launchpad, curiously I have absolutely no problems in building the package locally (with pbuilder). The problems is only with Launchpad, and only with xorg-server package. I found this workaround to prevent Launchpad from hanging: set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS += nocheck in debian/rules before uploading to Launchpad.
