For now.
"For now" is right. This is probably not such a good idea in the long run. If you are running etch or sid (which I assume you are, otherwise you wouldn't need snapshot.debian.net to get XFree86) then you won't get any security fixes for XFree86. Better to add the following to sources.list instead: deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free This way your XFree86 packages will at least get security fixes for the lifetime of Sarge.
