There is no "other" in the Debian BTS.  Each bug is attached to a specific 
package.  There are a few "pseudo-packages" like "wnpp", but those are still 
specific.  You can't just say "other"; if you haven't determined which 
package or pseudo-package to file against, you haven't done enough discovery 
on your issue for it to actually be a bug.  The Debian BTS (really, most bug 
trackers) are not the "front-line" for user issues.

Which is a good idea.  Many issues Debian users encounter are not bugs in the 
packages.  Instead they are results of misconfiguration, misunderstanding, or 
just plain ignoring what the system already warned them about.

What is the output of (aptitude search '~U')?  What is the output of 
(aptitude search '~o')?  Does (apt-get check) run to completion?  None of 
your packages are in a half-configured or "unpacked, unconfigured" state are 
they?  What about configuration file you shouldn't be using anymore, packages 
that own one or more of those will be shown in (aptitude search '~c').

I don't use this method, I use KDM.  From what I understand, the X11 server 
needs to run as root otherwise it cannot access the hardware correctly.  
Hopefully, there are other on the list that are using this method of starting 
their X sessions.

Sounds like the X11 server does need root access, to me.

Output of (ls -ld /usr) might be helpful here, but I think you might be 
misinterpreting the error message.

Yeah, and sometimes upgrades require manual intervention.  Debian tries to 
keep that minimal, but the release notes exist because we can't eliminate it 
entirely.  Any of the issues that will appear in the Wheezy release notes 
would be issues that you (or testing user like you) encounter and document.

It's not bad, IMO.
