Hi,

I'm attaching a first try at documenting this in README.Debian. Any
improvements or suggestions are welcome.

I don't know if we need to go into greater detail on how to enable the
composite extension, I think it's loaded by default now?

It might also be a good idea to mention using EXA instead of XAA as it
can make a huge difference in performance.
