Before getting into some of the suggestions let me first make sure I'm
even running the nouveau driver. Looking a little closer at aptitude
output, it could be indicating that I'm not actually running the xorg
driver but using nouveau in some other capacity:
Is this the normal way it would be installed?

aptitude search nouveau:
i libdrm-nouveau1a - Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel
DRM services
i A libdrm-nouveau2 - Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel
DRM services
p libdrm-nouveau2-dbg - Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel
DRM -- debug
p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - X.Org X server -- Nouveau display
driver
p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-dbg - X.Org X server -- Nouveau display
driver (debug symbols)
------- --------- ---=--- --------- --------

And it looks like every xserver under the sun has been automatically
installed. Can anyone guess why that would be:
