Umm... it's another one. I looked closer:
/usr/sbin/xbase-configure wants to create a Xserver configuration after a
Xserver is configured. It runs /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup. This is done on
configure-time of Xserver. The Problem with this is, that XF86Setup wants to
read the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. This file is included into
xbase and it is installed on my system now. But I have no idea why it was
not installed at the time my system tried to configure xserver-svga. (I mean
if xbase was not installed at that time xbase-configure would have missed,
too, right? Anyway.. xserver-* needs xbase to configure, therefore it should
Pre-depend: xbase.

Of course the System is working fine after some install/configure runs and
manual fixes. (A better fix I think is:
set -e
cd /usr/lib
mv X11 X11.old
ln -s ../X11R6/lib/X11 X11
mv X11.old/* X11/ &&
rm -rf X11.old # perhaps not?
)
