I'm not talking about providing symlinks to all binaries in /usr/X11R6/bin, just xauth. It's the one serious X application called from other applications for authentication purposes. The current transition method breaks using older OpenSSH with newer X11 and vice versa. That's why I think a symlink created in the postinstall script of the package providing xauth would be helpful. Ultimately it's your decision of course.
