branden, hi,
on both this and the xserver-svga packages, there is an assumption
that if the discover package exists, to search for the video bus,
but if that video bus doesn't exist, the dpkg config exits with
an error.
surely if the video bus does not exist it should be assumed that
discover cannot be used and then to proceed as if discover isn't
there?
sincerely,
l.

The XFree86 3.3.6 packages are not supported anymore. They have known
security vulnerabilities, so it would be wise to stop using them.
Withdrawl of support for XFree86 3.3.6 was announced in the last Debian
Security Advisory regarding XFree86.
Closing this bug.
