This one is bug #

Since this didn't come from a Debian package, you'll have to remove the
symlink by hand.

And this turns out to be a really sloppy bug in my code to find packages
that x11-common needs to conflict with, managing to completely miss the
stable-only packages by grepping the wrong Contents file. :/  David, an
un-post-processed list of packages is at
<http://ftp-master.debian.org/~vorlon/x11-common-conflicts-stable.txt> now,
which is unfortunately an additional 37 entries long.  Some of these are
definitely handled already by other conflicts, but I have to go through yet
and see for sure which ones those are.

Petteri, in your case this just means that xfs-xtt will be removed anyway,
because that package has been discontinued in etch -- so you'll want to just
go ahead and remove it from your system, and replace it with xfs once xfs...
once there's a version of xfs that x11-common doesn't conflict with.
