You should also have:
X (Wrapper application that calls the X server)
XF86_SVGA (or other X server)
Years ago, my old slackware used a symlink from the server to X.
Debian has used a wrapper application for security reasons as I
understand it. Looks to me like you need to reinstall x-server-
common and x-server-svga (or whatever the current package names
are).
