Grumble. I apologize for the noise, I should have been more thorough.
Apparently somewhere in the mists of time, while trying to solve
things myself, I decided to hand-edit the startx script.
And while I did reinstall everything X-related, I apparently did not
reinstall xinit itself. A simple sh -

Yes, it appears so:
aschuring@neminis:~$ file /usr/bin/X
/usr/bin/X: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/bin/X' (No such file or directory)
aschuring@neminis:~$ apt-file search /usr/bin/X | grep -w X
xserver-xorg: /usr/bin/X
But that shouldn't really be surprising given that xse

Severity: minor
It appears to be no longer possible to start X as non-root user, regardless
of the x11-common configuration. I don't use this too often, so I can't say
