The way we're currently handling the xserver ABI is a pain, because it

the package manager (aptitude is particularly bad at this iirc).
What I think would make more sense is to have the server provide
xorg-video-abi-$N (or whatever we may want to call it) and the driver
depend on that virtual abi package (in addition to the existing
serverminver dependency for minor bumps).
I'm not sure what this means for xserver-xorg's current any driver with
the right ABI dependency. Maybe the drivers can keep providing an
xorg-driver virtual package (which wouldn't have to be versioned).
I guess xorg-driver-video and xorg-driver-input would be needed, but
other than that this sounds good to me.
