Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.2-8
Severity: important

After upgrade from xorg 6.9 to 7.0 /usr/bin/Xorg should be
used instead of /usr/bin/X. But /usr/bin/Xorg is not suid root.
Thus it is inpossible to use startx & co to start x as a user.

No, /usr/bin/X should be used, and is setuid root, so there should be no
problem if your X server is not set to /bin/true :)
