Would that look about right?
debian/changelog
----------------
xserver-xorg-dev-helper (2:1.9.5-1) squeeze-backports; urgency=low
* Initial release.
* Following instructions from backports folks, ship the “backported”
helper scripts (dh_xsf_substvars and xsf.pm) in this separate source
and binary package.
* Sync from xorg-server 2:1.9.5-1, and make the binary conflict with
xserver-xorg-server (>= 2:1.9.4-1), which is where those helpers were
first introduced.
* Build as a native package as there's no real “source” to put into a
tarball, using the version of xserver-xorg-dev the helpers came from.
