I think this has to do with the fact that libglitz or whatever it's
called is in a new package in ubuntu due to modularising of X. The
same with iceauth which got broken out of xbase-clients. Ubuntu breezy
will have x.org 7.0 hence the increase of package numbers and
consequently dependencies.

I don't know I but I think Daniel (cc-d) does.

One other change is to the mcs-plugins to provide display resolution
manipulation by relying on xrandr & co. (I see there's a debian bug
opened on this one)
