It's a dependency thing, not sure if it'll go away later, or if it's
due to a change in xorg package...  xserver-xorg-core now is claimed
to break xserver-xorg-input-7 and xserver-xorg-video-6.  xserver-xorg
depends upon xserver-xorg-core, so it can't be installed unless the
former does.  Most input and video drivers provide those virtual
packages, so most drivers are broken by xserver-xorg-core at this
moment.  I'm not sure if this is due to new versions of the drivers
are waiting to be included in the repos, or because now all of them
now come with just one bigger/bloated package.
