Hmm, this was supposed to have been fixed in xserver-xorg 1:7.0.11 by
removing the symlink in question. :/  So there are two bugs here --
xserver-xorg needs to drop the symlink, and x11-common needs to bump its
versioned conflict with xserver-xorg...

The first can be fixed by just removing the debian/xserver-xorg.links file
from the source package.

The second can be fixed by changing the Conflicts to xserver-xorg (<< 1:7.0.12)
-- assuming it's fixed in the next maintainer upload.
