Eeek. I wouldn't advise that. At the very least, you should force uninstall
the debian xserver, install X in somewhere safe like /usr/local/Xorg, and use
equivs to tell debian that you've installed an equivalent server, so all is
well with packages that depend on X.
But other people have probably already packaged Xorg FOR debian, so hopefully
that wouldn't be necessary.
