It's been a while since I've cleaned the archives, and yet
the only files matching 'xorg' in the apt archive are from
the installed version (aka 'the broken version').

The changelog seems to have skipped describing changes to
earlier versions. Or maybe mutt is just oddly broken: it
didn't see that there were several changelog files in my
apt-listchanges mailbox containing the string 'xorg'. Not
sure why.

Snapshot.debian.net seems to have only Debian packages, not
Ubuntu ones. Not surprising in the least, of course.
