Sure, the only problem is I need a libclutter-1.0-dbg package on
armel that matches the unpatched version -- ah, thankfully
snapshots.d.o has it (1.2.12-2).

Here we go:

clutter-backend-glx.c is indeed not the file Heiko has patched
(clutter/cogl/common/cogl-fixed.c) .... So maybe the change to the
CFLAGS in debian/rules is enough?

Cheers,
