I believe I'm affected by the bug. When trying to debug Xorg I get the CRC mismatch warnings mentioned in the original bug description.

So I thought I could help verify the correction. I understood that the problem was in pkg-create-dbgsym and the correction to this package should now be verified.

The first thing I did was building xorg-server source package. That went fine after installing all the required tools and -dev packages.

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us

... was the command I used.

I still don't have pkg-create-dbgsym installed at all in this phase...

$ apt-cache policy pkg-create-dbgsym
pkg-create-dbgsym:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.42
  Version table:
     0.42 0
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

..., but to my surprise the debug package...

../xserver-xorg-core-dbg_1.7.6-2ubuntu7_i386.deb

... has been generated by the "normal" build command

I had guessed the the debug package would be created by using (tools inside) pkg-create-dbgsym.

I do understand that launchpad is not a forum for questions, but if somebody could provide short instructions
how to verify the correction I would be grateful.
