Subject: [PROPOSED] policy for usage of "xserver" alternative

Version: 3.1.1.1
Severity: wishlist
Will implement current practice, and provide an actual policy for usage of
the "xserver" virtual package which appears in the virtual packages list.
In a nutshell, X servers that interface directly with the display and input
hardware or via another subsystem (e.g., GGI) should provide xserver.
Things like Xvfb, Xnest, and Xprt should not.
