Are you using sid? I recently did a clean install of woody and then
immediately upgrading to sid and had the same issue when installing X.
According to the status messages they're migrating configuring X way
from the former method. I ended up just installing version -6 (-10 is the
current) of xserver-common and using apt-get to grab the rest of the
packages and then manually installing xserver-xfree86 -6, configuring
it, and then upgrading it. Likely far easier ways to handle this but 1)
I didn't have an old XF86Config handy and 2) It was 4:30 am and I was
too tired to think of another.
