Not to be picky :) This is a MAJOR  release. The last point release was
on 3 June - version 3.0r6. Just because the numbering is barely
incremented doesn't mean that it hasn't changed.

As a Slashdot poster put it - Debian will use xorg when its ready for
enough architectures - they've only got it on four or five so far -
but that includes i386/amd64/ia64/ppc - so 90% of the world is covered
now but x.org is in transition in their build scripts and so on so
Debian may wait a fraction longer.
