breaking the xserver-xorg-* circular dependency?

[Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>]

Hi,

for some reason, the etch->lenny upgrade results in epic fail when using
aptitude, because random X driver packages get removed.

I'm not quite sure why it does that, but one candidate explanation is
the circular dependency between xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-core and all
X drivers.  Does someone have time to test such an upgrade, first with
the packages currently in lenny, and then with a modified
xserver-xorg-core that doesn't depend on xserver-xorg?

Cheers,
Julien
