xserver-xorg 1:7.0.0 does not install
When upgrading xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 to 1:7.0.0 the installation
fails. xserver-xorg 1:7.0.0 is installed _before_ x11-common 1:7.0.0
which replaces xserver-common (6.9.0.dfsg.1-4). Installed version of
x11-common is 1:1.09, see below. Seem to be a dependency problem to me.

Description: X Window System (X.Org) infrastructure
x11-common contains the filesystem infrastructure required for further
installation of the X Window System in any configuration; it does not
provide a full installation of clients, servers, libraries, and
utilities required to run the X Window System.
.
A number of terms are used to refer to the X Window System, including
"X",
"X Version 11", "X11", "X11R6", and "X11R7". The version of X used in
Debian is derived from the version released by the X.Org Foundation,
and
is thus often also referred to as "X.Org". All of the preceding quoted
terms are functionally interchangeable in an Debian system.

Description: the X.Org X server
This package depends on the full suite of the server and drivers for
the X.Org X server, as well as providing a configuration infrastructure
to manage xorg.conf. It does not provide the actual server itself, but
removing it is strongly discouraged.
