I'm using a Radeon 9200 SE with the Linux (open-source) DRI

Try the proprietary ATI Driver. They claim it builds packages for xorg 7.0

Ok, it looks like x11-common can't do anything because somethings hosed
with debconf.
Try apt-get -f install debconf, or dpkg-reconfigure debconf, and see what
happens there.

Yeah, but I can't yank it out! It is not fully installed, and nothing in
my arsenal can yank it out.
Ok,then:
Look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/debconf.postinst
and see what's in that file-perhaps we can hack a fix from there.
