Still, you are the maintainer, so you are the one supposed to find a way
to fix it ... Have you tried contacting the people who could help you?
Like the X.org team, or the upstream author?

If the bug only affects a small number of systems, you also have the
solution to downgrade its severity until you can figure out exactly
what's needed to reproduce it...

Last time I tried skippy, it was very slow. So, on machines where
compositing doesn't work reasonably fast, skippy is also probably very
slow...

Fine, but please try to fix the problems: the package hasn't migrated to
testing for over a year and wasn't included in etch. There's not much
point in keeping in Debian if it's broken...
