"renders the package unusable" in this context means the package cannot
be used for its intended purpose at all by anyone, which isn't the case.

When it hangs, can you attach gdb to the Xorg process and get a
backtrace? See
https://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging/ for
detailed information about how this can be done. Make sure the
xserver-xorg-core-dbgsym and xserver-xorg-video-radeon-dbg packages are
installed.

Can you use git bisect to determine which change introduced the problem?
