I can't reproduce this here. I had a Debian testing installed in Xen
DomU using paravirtualization. I installed x11-common from Etch
(1:7.1.0-19), it worked fine.

Could you try locating the instruction causing this in the maintainer
script? One way to do so might be to add "set -x" at the beginning (not
the first line, but right after it) of /var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.*
and dpkg-reconfigure x11-common.
