Is there anything stopping us from putting Mesa 6.5 and xf86-video-i810
in now?  Maybe 6.5 could temporarily stop providing the
mesa-swrast-source package (hell, the latter could come from its own
package) until such time as we get a server release that's compatible
with it.  In any case, I don't see what's the problem with pushing these
release versions into *unstable* ...
