Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: serious

xserver-xorg.config requires /var/lib/x11 from x11-common, in order to
create /var/lib/x11/.migrateconfig; however, .config scripts cannot
count on Pre-Depends.  This breaks upgrades from sarge:

xserver-xorg config warning: Migrating xserver-xfree86 debconf values to
   xserver-xorg.
touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/x11/.migrateconfig': No such file or directory
xserver-xorg failed to preconfigure, with exit status 1
