You might want to try updating your debconf/perl/dpkg/apt combination
and running this again. In fact, as a defensive mechanism (because
I've been using debconf since it's earlier and shakier days :>), I
tend to always
apt-get update dpkg debconf apt
before running dselect, or other upgrades.
If that doesn't help, then...

If you're this close, it might be worth trying to just hand-edit the
config file. Alternately, if you post it (or send it to me), I'll
compare it to mine and see if I see anything obviously off.

Make sure your /etc/X11/XF86Config file is the same as it was before.
That's the one that the svga server still uses.
