Please unblock package fglrx-driver

Hello,

I need a freeze exception for the fglrx-driver package.
The package is non-free and mostly binary-only, so a diff is not
possible.
>From 10-7 to 10-9 there are many very important bugfixes, I will only
list the _reported_ ones which are upstream relevant, not Debian relevant:

#586797 Broken textures in supertuxkart and maybe in other opengl apps
#587824 This is the main issue and it is merged with several other ones.
        With 10-5 AMD introduced a new 2D rendering architecture with much
		more power, but it has got ugly regressions, especially with compiz
		and xulrunner applications (black windows, crashing X with compiz etc
		etc etc etc)

It maybe fixes some more bugs, but I have to ping first all reporters again. :)
