Solution: stop using Ubuntu and switch to the distro that they steal all their package from: Debian. The X.org package which was ripped verbatim from Debian is correctly marked "unstable" in their repositories.
And this bugs me. Does Debian produce all of *their* packages in house, or do the "steal" them from the original developers and other distros? I thought the nice thing about Linux was choosing what packages you like, from where, and use them as you see fit (within the terms of the license). Just because a distro uses packages from another distro shouldn't be called "stealing" (and it's not), it should be called "down streaming". Anyway, isn't imitation the most sincere form of flattery? Oh, wait Ubuntu doesn't try to imitate Debian...
