Note, selecting libpci-dev instead of pciutils-dev The following extra packages will be installed: libpci-dev libpci3 libpixman-1-0 libpixman-1-dev libxau-dev libxau6 m4 x11-common x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-xext-dev zlib1g-dev [...] So there you have the name backwards-compatibility (for arm so far). libpci-dev provides libpci-dev. Release team, please consider giving back xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd except for arm. Thank you.
