Hi Aaron, because we're dealing with mesa snapshots, we're being
conversative in how we plan to nmu them.  That means we are going to
start by bring the version from experimental into unstable, since we
already know it more or less works (for a certain value of "works",
anyway). We need to do this as a prerequisite for bringing the
remainder of  X11R7.1 (xserver and drivers) into unstable.

Once X11R7.1 is more settled, we will probably be able to bring mesa
6.5.1 in (it should have been finalised by then), which will contain
the patch you referred to.

Of course Steve or another can apply the one-line patch anyway if they like :)
