Hi Jonathan,

Currently it is not possible to include EPS graphics with
\includegraphics. Upstream has a very simple fix in their SVN[1] that
modifies xetex.def to fix that.
The patch is:

Do you think that this is ok to be put into texlive for debian? THe
only
thing making me think about is that there is written
"default driver in xetex 0.997"
while debian has 0.996-patch2.
The xetex version is relevant primarily for Mac OS X, where pre-0.997
versions used xdv2pdf by default and definitely couldn't support .eps
images unless the user specifically reconfigured things.
So for Debian, that's not a concern; you'll always be using
xdvipdfmx. However, I don't recall offhand whether there were any
significant bug-fixes in xdvipdfmx that you'd need in order for this
to actually work, or if it's always been supported if you had a
suitable xetex.def.
I'm away from home and office at the moment, without much chance to
test things. So I'd suggest that if you want to consider including
this, give it a try and see what happens with your current binaries,
and the updated xetex.def. I think there's a good chance it'll work
but can't promise anything right now, sorry.
Jonathan
