Bug#332566: workaround
Folks with systems broken by this may get back on the road by removing
xserver-common and reinstalling the old xserver-xfree86 and xserver-common
using dpkg -i, perhaps with suitable --force options.
The old packages are gone from the main archive, but can still be wgot from
ftp://debian.paradise.net.nz/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/xserver-common_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_i386.deb
ftp://debian.paradise.net.nz/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/xserver-xfree86_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_i386.deb
being a mirror which seems to have a broken updating system.
