Please Help! by Steam on Debian

Well those are oldstable backports. There is no newer intel xorg driver in stable backports as yet.

It's not too hard to just add the testing or unstable deb-src repository and have a go at creating your own backports from source packages.

http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/xserver-xorg-video-intel

There are some performance related improvements since 2.19.x

Upgrading to the latest 2.21.x may not be worth all the effort however and the only big improvements may come from the latest 2.99.x upstream source and a newer kernel.

But... this will also inevitably involve backporting newer mesa/drm...

Have fun with that. I am on 13.04 with xorg-edgers. 3.11.2 kernel...

I agree, a new user who wants to run steam is better off with a more bleeding edge distro than Debian stable.
