You can make it yourself!

Get the package:
apt-get -d xserver-xorg-core

Create a directory to unpack that package:
mkdir /path/to/a/directory (example /tmp/xserver)

cd /tmp/xserver/
dpkg -e xserver-xorg-coreXXXX
dpkg -x xserver-xorg-coreXXXX /tmp/xserver

cd /tmp/xserver/DEBIAN

Edit the control file and on the line beginning by Depends remove nvidia-glx
Save the file.
cd /tmp
dpkg-deb -b xserver
It will create a new package xserver.deb that you can install.

Hope it helps
