I think what you search is /usr/doc/X11/README.Debain

You can find there:
  
    * The X server to be used by default is not selected by changing a
    symlink.
    Instead a small wrapper program (/usr/X11R6/bin/X) reads a
    configuration
    file (/etc/X11/Xserver) to find out which server to run and who is
    allowed to run it.
 
I hope this helps.

Regards
Mika
