Why do you use dselect to manage upgrades? IMO, that is a nice way to

Yes, wait until xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-core are available for
your architecture. The new x11-common conflicts with the current
xserver-xorg version, and "dselect install" seems to be equivalent to
"apt-get dist-upgrade". These commands are very dangerous on sid,
because they may remove large parts of the system in order to upgrade as
many packages as possible.
