I just ran aptitude, and noticed that almost anything related to X has been renamed with dfsg in the version of the package. Does anybody know why?

Because some parts of (all?) code under non-DFSG-free licenses has been removed. The version number had to be changed because xfree had to be repackaged to get rid of the dfsg-violating files (There is no way to use the diff to remove them).
