No, I think checking in for master should come first. Wheezy is our
first priority. I will back port the changes to squeeze.

I think it is possible to do without the
tigervnc_1.2.0+X1.12.1.902.orig.tar.gz. But I don't exactly know how
to enable the corresponding mode in the
source/{options,format,local-options}

Could you explain what exactly you mean with that? The README in
tigervnc_1.2.0+X1.12.1.902.orig.tar.gz is removed anway. We could also
use an empty tigervnc_1.2.0+X1.12.1.902.orig.tar.gz. As I said above,
it should be possible to remove tigervnc_1.2.0+X1.12.1.902.orig.tar.gz
altogether, but I have not found the right combination of flags to
enable this.

Well, at the moment we use a svn checkout of tigervnc. However, if
tigervnc ever releases their own official tarball I planned to used them
as the pristine tar.
