Hm. The config script should have automatically trashed them.
# migrate to XFree86 4.2, where there are no pex or xie modules
db_get xserver-xfree86/config/modules
SELECTED_MODULES="$(echo $RET | awk 'BEGIN { RS=", "} {print $1}')"
# are the pex or xie modules selected?
if echo "$SELECTED_MODULES" | egrep -q "(pex|xie)"; then
# get rid of them
SELECTED_MODULES=$(echo "$SELECTED_MODULES" | egrep -v "(pex|xie)")
SELECTED_MODULES=$(echo $SELECTED_MODULES | sed 's/ /, /g')
db_set xserver-xfree86/config/modules "$SELECTED_MODULES"
fi
Or did you bring this on yourself by adding them by hand, and not letting
debconf handle them?

This is starting to sound like a non-bug.
