Ah. Well, we have

in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg , which I presume is
identical to the Debian one. Kinda feels like cheating.

In the changelog, there are a few versions. Shouldn't I be
able to back up to an earlier versions via

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg=6.8.2-34

for instance? Or do I have to have a repository that stores
older versions?

Sorry for the newbie-sounding questions.
