Correct. It is supposed to be used on the seldom case that a specific
new package is not working

To much expectation. It is not the case.

The list of packages built with the same source is mentioned here:
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/xorg-server-src.html

Setup is NOT looking at this information.

Manual process.
