Hi Lars, I was looking through these, and at least the following errors appear to be false positives for the given packages, caused only by some combination of x11-common, xcursor-themes, xutils (which leaves behind junk in /etc/X11/rstart), xlibs-data (which leaves things in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons, looks like #362109 was already filed about this) and/or ttf-bitstream-vera.
