I'd say that x11::xserver is a package providing an X server, that is,
something that X clients can connect to. I guess that covers whatever
gives us /usr/bin/X, xnest, xephyr and probably not many others.
The xserver-xorg-{video,input}* packages should probably have something
like x11::driver instead. If you think it's a good idea, I'll go on and
add it. Alternatively, we can do x11::xserver plus use::driver (and
maybe hardware::something).
For the long term, feedback is welcome on whether x11::* is actually
useful or not. I think, as a facet, it's quite well defined (taking the
rather exotic point of view of the X world); what I wonder is if it's
really any use except as a mental exercise.
Ciao,
Enrico
