The point is that it was in older versions of xserver-xorg. It's indeed
not in the current version, and in fact it can't be since (due to the
way that FILES works) there is no way for a single file to end up in
more than one of the PACKAGES for a given recipe.
In the particular case at hand I think the problem is relatively minor,
since folks who have an old xserver-xorg installed can upgrade by first
installing the new xserver-xorg (which doesn't ship libexa.so) and then
installing xserver-xorg-module-exa. But, if the new xserver-xorg had
depended on xserver-xorg-module-exa then this wouldn't have worked
without the RREPLACES.
