The libxcb bug didn't affect Debian at the time and the architectural issues
in libxcb have now been fixed upstream.

As for the grub fix, I didn't get any response from the Debian grub
maintainers but since you mentioned it I'll send them another e-mail.

Interaction with Xfce upstream and Debian Xfce have come a long way since
2005. We've worked particularly hard to reduce our delta to upstream and
Debian which was an important issue to both teams. Although I don't always
agree with Xfce upstream, I feel a warm and friendly relationship has been
establish that allows for a much easier working relationship especially
concerning escalation of issues/bugs.

I brought the suggestion up on the ubuntu-devel mailing list before but it
seemed developers were shy of adding any sort of complexity to the process
at that time. However, since that thread the idea has since been brought up
on the list again once or twice to an increasingly warmer reception.
Ultimately, I feel a tiered SRU system is in Ubuntu's future.
