When I updated a hamm partition to slink (using apt-get
dist-upgrade) the upgrade was easy and painless. I purged xbase (and
a lot of other x stuff I don't use). My XF86Config was not disturbed
by the installation or purging. I doubt if you need that "dire
warning".
BTW, I had tended to side (silently) with Santiago during your
warm discussions about how to treat the Great X Reorganization.
However, my experience in upgrading vindicated your position. Of
course, I had read the Upgrade-notes. :-)
PS: After reading Brian Mays' message commenting on this, I
checked the ownership of XF86Config on my system. dpks -S reports
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config is owned by xserver-common in slink and
xbase in /hamm. In both cases it is a symlink to /etc/X11/XF86Config.
dpkg -S doesn't find /etc/X11/XF86Config.
