Don't worry about this. The new xserver-xorg package replaces
xserver-common (see for yourself with "apt-cache show xserver-xorg").

A number of people seem to have problems with the upgrade, so maybe we
should compare which packages are installed in each case. I have a

Maybe someone with a working Xorg 7.0 on Etch can run the same command
so that the people with problems can compare this output to what is
reported on their boxes. (Please add to the dpkg query if necessary; I
