I've used x-common for Ubuntu, and would prefer it if Debian could do
the same; we don't need any more points of difference in our X
implementations. x11-common would need a postinst that removed the
/usr/*/X11 symlinks when X moves to /usr; x-common already provides
this.

FWIW, I believe only one package in the entirety of Debian was using
this (I got LaMont to check, and the number was low enough that it
didn't matter; also, it's had eighteen years to update now).
