depends on what you mean by "working".
a) the sid machine is your primary computer, where you do all kind of
things (not only "packaging"); in this case, a broken X system will
drop your productivity towards zero (if you are like me :-), so you
can as well dedicate more of your now-free time to get a running
system again.
btw, i often found such problem to be a combination of upgraded kernel
vs incompatible/non-upgraded gfx-driver (e.g. i have a system with a
rather old nvidia card using the proprietary (shudder) drivers, which
i found to be incompatible with linux-3.13; so i just downgraded to
3.12 for now (and consider switching to nouveau...)
b) you have a nicely running system, only your packaging environment
has a broken X.
in my personal workflow, this would not be a problem, as all of my
packaging tools do not require X at all. (obviously things are a bit
different if you are packaging an X-related application and want to
*test* whether everything works as expected after doing the packaging).
if that system is *only* for packaging, you might just re-install the
entire thing (preferably in a VM :-)
