Wrong package. The XFree86 X server is in xserver-xfree86.

Inflated severity. Lack of (working) support for your video card, which is
what this bug appears to be, is not a release-critical bug. Just
because you can't get XFree86 doesn't mean it should be taken away from
all Debian users for whom it does work.

Only for you.

That log reveals:
(II) NVIDIA XFree86 Driver 1.0-4349 Thu Mar 27 19:02:58 PST 2003
That is NVidia's proprietary driver, which is not part of the Debian
XFree86 packages. You may need to contact NVidia technical support for
assistance with your problem.
Closing this report.
