xpm-nox has already been taken care of by Charles Wilson, that leaves 
opengl, whose maintainer AFAICS is André Bleau.

I would like to ask that any future packages, both ITPs and updates, be 
in /usr; those packages which aren't being updated immediately anyway 
can wait until modular X11 is available.

Of course, I forgot something very important:

THIRD, all packages dependent on X11 in any way need to specify which 
*client* libraries or components they actually require, NOT including 
the server.  I would like to have this figured out by upload time so 
that I can update the setup.hint's then (but please NOT YET!!!!).

For my own notes, these are mine that are affected:
