Installing just the driver would imply doing something like downloading the xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-quantal and installing it with dpkg -i. The driver depends on xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal, instead of xserver- xorg-lts-quantal. No kernel is listed in the core package, so that might help with the issue that Timo mentions, but it wouldn't solve the problem with virtual packages. The expected behavior when installing the intel xorg driver with apt would be to pull in the rest of the Intel driver stack needed for the upgrade. Really the package should be in a ppa so that reverting to a previous version of xorg is not a problem when the newer driver doesn't work.
