I know, but the problem is elsewhere : even if approved, this package 
cannot be installed on unstable + experimental because of video ABI 
dependency first and the fact that this upstream package is really 
incompatble with current unstable xorg video ABI. I started it manaully 
with -ignoreABI flags and it just crashed almost immediately so it is 
not only a matter of rebuilding the debian dependencies....

I do but I cannot test anything newer because of the original choice of 
selecting an outdated driver version...

I think you should first package a version that supports the actual 
unstable video ABI....
