I am working on backporting agg support from gnash HEAD to the 0.8.0
branch ... and since I am also Co-Maintaining the package in debian, I
will take care that we switch from opengl to agg there as well.

Actually its not hard, just needs to be done. I have the patch
somewhere on disk ... it just needs to be merged (maybe it even just
applies) and tested.

For swfdec I cannot tell much. I definitly will not put much efford into
this on my own, but would be happy go guide others on how to integrate
that package seamlessly.
