Obviously if you installed this before the "testing" dist was started, you
will have it installed.

% grep "Package: xserver-xfree86" Packages
% pwd
/org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/dists/woody/main/binary-i386
% cd "....."
% grep "Package: xserver-xfree86" Packages
Package: xserver-xfree86
% pwd
/org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/dists/sid/main/binary-i386

This is on ftp-master. So, yes, the old woody used to have it (when woody
was "unstable"), but the new woody doesn't (since it is now "testing").
"Sid" is not "unstable".

You are probably looking at "unstable" and assuming it is "woody", when
now it isn't. Unstable is "sid".
