  From the comment on the maintainer's log it looks like 4.2 isn't going
to make woody... http://people.debian.org/~branden/ ... if you want to 
monitor progress of Debian X that's a good page to check.

  Also if you want to run 4.1 on a potato system... check out this Very 
Unoffical source of compiled for potato X servers...
