Nice. Canonical / Ubuntu has enough sway to impose the removal of libraries which would break their MIR. In theory the source files are copied in /usr/src/xorg-gtest and part of the dev package. In reality this code as such is un-usable. So may be it is better to remove entirely all xorg packages ? to let go MIR ...

It depends on libgtest-dev shipping static libraries (libgtest-dev does not ship shared libraries). Upstream gtest has discouraged shipping precompiled libraries, so the static libraries have been removed from libgtest-dev. The current xorg-gtest package depends on the static libraries from libgtest-dev. In order to fix this, we must update to version 0.2.0 of xorg-gtest. Then, users of xorg-gtest will need to rework their build systems for the change. There are no current users of xorg-gtest in the archive, though some upstreams use it where available. Those upstreams are already in the process of changing.
