Yes, we try to keep things regularized around here, so XFree86 is the way
that the package names need to be spelled.

Also, I request that you keep the XFree86-xserv package, as that will allow
us to realize the immediate benefit of being able to release the Test-**
server or updates to the stable server as small downloads that everyone can
keep up to date with.

Thanks for you great work,

Harold
