Ketil, the problem is, it *is* a complex relationship. Trying to explain
the relationship in a package description is going to either bloat the
package descriptions to many many pages, or will drive the author of any
such description to commit themselves to a nearby mental institution.

I have built Branden's XFree86 4.0.1 -5 woody debs for potato. You can find
the HOWTO on this at:
http://cpbotha.net/building_woody_xfree86_4.0.1_debs_on_potato.HOWTO
In addition, you can also APT these to your potato system, by adding the
following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Sadly, the package system isn't mature enough (I don't think) to be able
to say, "if version x.x.x of package P is installed, then install
version y.y.y of package Q -- otherwise, install version z.z.z or
package R".

yes, the link setup in the xserver-xfree86.postinst is wrong. it
should be:
ln -sf "$this_server" /etc/X
