[ubuntu-x] list of video drivers that are candidates for removal

[TImo Aaltonen]

	Hi

  I looked at the list of video drivers we carry to identify the ones
that could be dropped from the meta package deps and/or from the archive:

apm
 - LP: only bugs ever filed were sync requests
 - Debian: only has one archived bug about a wrong dependency
 - upstream bugs http://tinyurl.com/3wrfnku
   + all closed, nothing recent

ark
 - LP: only bugs ever filed on LP were sync requests
 - Debian: no bugs filed
 - upstream bugs http://tinyurl.com/3vju5hd
   + one recent bugfix (28249)

chips
 - LP: only real bug from late 2008 (#312707) was about autoloading on a
   440BX based hw, which itself is from the 90's
 - Debian: one bug in recent years, upstream 18122
 - upstream bugs http://tinyurl.com/3eueuo3
   + bug 18122 fixed 2y ago, two old bugs open

glide
 - LP: only bug reported was a sync request
 - Debian: only policy violation bugs

glint

   + all fixed

i128

   + three old bugs open

tseng
 - LP: only sync-reqs, no open bugs

   + three open bugs, one recent one with a patch

voodoo
 - LP: no open bugs
 - Debian: one bug filed (manpage typo)
 - upstream: bugs filed http://tinyurl.com/3mnso6c
   + only one bug ever filed

Perhaps we still need these:

neomagic
 - LP: three open bugs
 - Debian: no open bugs,
 - upstream: bugs filed http://tinyurl.com/3cwh8lp
   + 5 open bugs
 - quite popular in semi-old laptops that are still used

s3
 - LP: two open bugs
 - Debian: latest bug filed early last year, no bugs open
 - upstream: bugs filed http://tinyurl.com/3sjazqe
   + 3 open bugs
 - used in some virtualisation setups?


The rest of the drivers are more or less needed.
