These are, for Debian testing anyway, up to date.  I'd fret more about
that if a) this wasn't working just fine a week ago and b) if it was an
upgrade to xserver-xorg that triggered the change from worky to
no-worky.  Good thought though, and if something doesn't give soon I'll
dist-upgrade to unstable and then wait six months for testing to catch
up to me and upgrades to happen again :-)
