I am with you, the second one is cleaner, but I think that breaks more
things
that the first one. When we will ask to the FTPmasters to remove remaining
XFree86 packages, several things will be uninstallable. However, given the
current state of sid, it would be unimportant to break even more things. ;-)
I would like to consult to the release team before making up our minds.
Maybe
they have a preferred way to go.
Best regards,
Ender.
PS: I do not think that this bug deserves important severity...I will think of
it.
