Bug Description
Currently, on Quantal, fglrx-updates has the version 2:9.000-0ubuntu3, while AMD already has released 2:9.010-0ubuntu1, which is as far as I know, the only version running with xserver-xorg 1.13.
More speed regarding fglrx updates would really be nice.

This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer
---------------
fglrx-installer
* New upstream release (LP: #1032672, LP: #1022898).
* debian/
- Do not apply any kernel patch (LP: #1048142)
* debian/rules:
- Make it possible to set the xserver ABIs in debian/substvars.
- Make sure that all binaries in /usr/bin are executable.
- Correct the path to Qt libraries on i386.
* Merge fixes from the upstream installer:
- Fix openCL issues running x86 binaries on x86_64.
- Make sure that dh_shlibdeps doesn't complain about missing qt
libraries.
* Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format (as it's not
a native package).

The fglrx-installer package is not updated once a version of Ubuntu is released. That is what fglrx-installer -updates is for.
