Err, 4.3 is *not* available in sid. It is available in experimental,
however.

jkoenig@note:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xfree86
xserver-xfree86:
  Installed: 4.3.0-0pre1v5
  Candidate: 4.3.0-0pre1v5
  Version Table:
 *** 4.3.0-0pre1v5 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4.2.1-15 0
        500 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        500 ftp://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Packages
        500 ftp://debian.uchicago.edu unstable/main Packages

4.3 was installed from experimental, then experimental's lines were
removed from sources.list. 4.2.1 is the most recent version available in
sid.
