ops. Since hotplug deals with PCI cards, I assumed that it would know of 
video cards as well; if this is not the case, then  maybe the best way 
out would be that: mantainers of discover split discover in two, 
discover-X11 and discover (all the rest), whereas discover-X11 will be 
used by xserver-xfree86, but it will not touch anything else; and 
everybody will be happy ever after.
