Well, it's severely impairing my upgrade *to* lenny, so I wager it's
an issue for lenny :)
Are there any external packages known to provide the symlink? ISTR some
external X server software, but I don't know if it has deb packages.
If not, is there any reason why this couldn't be a symlink shipped by
xserver-xorg-core, or an ln -s invocation in its postinst? IIRC we stopped
supporting 'jumping' upgrades (e.g. sarge->lenny) so we don't really care
if we break that old xserver-xfree86.
My point being - in that case, the patches are pretty simple.
