OK, this is not a bug report and I have not even tested it yet, but
reading the PKGBUILD I found that for some reason a file (
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so ) is created by the scriptlets; in this
way pacman doesn't know which package owns it. I have to admit it's a
pretty minor annoyance, since it is removed by the post_remove function,
but it seems to me an useless complication. Unless I'm missing
something, you can get rid of the xorg-server.install file and put:

ln -sf libwfb.so.1.4 ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so

at the end of the PKGBUILD.

Cheers,
