This is as expected. The latest X server in sid introduced an ABI
bump, and so the various DDX drivers in sid have to be
updated/rebuilt; they also have to migrate to testing at the same time
(you can see the progress of the transition at [1]).
xserver-xorg-video-modesetting as a separate package is going away
(#784747), so feel free to let apt/aptitude remove it.
