FYI, there is a problem with the rebuilt directfb in
community-testing, at least qingy doesn't work with it. I'm still
trying to figure what's the problem. I tried the newer releases but
whether it's in the same 1.4 branch or the newer 1.5 branch, it
doesn't work. We'll need to wait until it's fix to move the rebuild
out of testing.
