Ugh... I've just realized that x11-common 7.0.12 is still the one with
broken handling of removal of the /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

So it's not unreproducible at all, in fact I still have a machine here
that's in this state.

The bug should be fixed with the upload of xorg 1:7.0.13, which I hope will
happen soon.
