	First of all I had to change: debian/rules from:


	ifeq ($(XVERSION),6.8.1)
		# There ain't no driver for 6.8.1, set to 6.8.0
		XVERSION := 6.8.0
	endif


to


	ifeq ($(XVERSION),6.8.2)
		# There ain't no driver for 6.8.1, set to 6.8.0
		XVERSION := 6.8.0
	endif


Since Ubuntu seems to come with X.org 6.8.2 otherwise you get the 
following error :

wget -nd
