[ubuntu-x] xi2 PPA

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi Thomas, thanks for doing this!

Are you a member of xorg-edgers?  This looks like an excellent candidate
for putting into a secondary PPA under xorg-edgers, or perhaps even the
main PPA.  What do you think?  Any ideas on when XI2 may be merged into
the main xserver tree?
