Bug Description

Binary package hint: xf86-video-displaylink

Ultimately we want -displaylink in main, but first the -displaylink driver should be renamed to confirm to the debian X team's standard naming convention (xserver-xorg-*) and to use xsfbs for packaging.

This is needed for the following blueprint:
  https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-xorg-enable-century-usb-screen

I'd hoped to get this in by beta2 freeze, but it was a target of opportunity and thus low on my priority list, and it >just< missed the freeze cutoff. :-)

Didn't make it for beta2, pushing milestone.

Bryce, the source package uploaded to the NEW queue seems to have two complete copies of the upstream source: one from the upstream tarball in the xf86-video-displaylink subdirectory, and one in the src subdirectory that's only in the diff.gz. Could you please clean up the package to use the upstream sources?

I've reuploaded a cleaner version that doesn't have all the duplicated source, yet still uses xsfbs.
