I'll try to keep the package updated in sid for supporting newer kernel 
versions as long as this is possible with reasonable effort. So only 
packaged Debian kernels in sid/experimental will be tested. And patches 
must not regress on any (ancient) Debian kernel where the module 
previously built.

Once Xorg bumps its ABI again the driver will only work with the older 
Xorg in (old)stable.
