The main reason why we are using this approach is because X doesn't evolve as fast as the kernel and it is the only way at the moment to simulate X.org modularized tree. In this way each time a package gain its own independency, it will be dropped silently from the -source- package and a new version of "independent-source" orig.tar.gz will be uploaded. The good thing is that all of this can be done without ftp-master manual intervention (other than the first package approval).
