As you are running Testing, I don't think you even need
x-window-system-core.
Why?
apt-cache show x-window-system-core
x-window-system-core 1:7.0.19

Description: transitional package for Debian etch
This package is provided to smooth upgrades from Debian 3.1 ("sarge") to
Debian etch. It may be safely removed from your system. It depends on the
xorg package which is the new metapackage for installing the X Window
System in Debian.

I no longer have it installed and am running etch.
