Bug#447101: xorg doesn't place binaries ins /usr/X11/bin
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+2
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source
/usr/X11R6/bin is a simple link to /usr/bin. This makes compiling
a different version of X11 difficult and requires manually moving
the X11 unique files from to /usr/bin to another directory.
The /usr/X11/bin should always be kept and X11 unique files installed
in it. This way, new versions may be tested an installed without the
user having to compensate for this deficit.
