Did something similar over the weekend (reinstall potato base,
dist-upgrade to testing and then install task-x-window-system).
The thing is that xserver-xfree86 does *neither* create a config
file *nor* create a symlink to the server.
I fixed this by running dexconf to create /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
based upon my choices during configuration upon installation and
created a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. This fixed it.
