Okay. How about this?
1) Don't ship config or templates, and remove all debconf stuff from the
xserver-xfree86(-dri) maintainer scripts.
2) Go ahead and do a dpkg-divert in your postinst of XFree86 to
XFree86-dri.
3) Use message() in the xserver package postinst to tell the user to add
the "modules-dri" path to his XF86Config-4.
