There are several reasons for this:
* latest xserver-xorg-core experimental packages are not built for amd64 yet
* evdev needs
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev.git;a=commitdiff;h=3eddc02011d7805d8f959b6ca626df33d1f6a90b;hp=7656675298b512645a06a34a7994dfbde9796ae4
Once we upload all Xorg 7.5 packages to unstable, it should work fine.
