Setting to High as this will break X on the next reboot (even across
hibernates.)

The breakage is caused by the new xserver-xorg package installing a
symlink to /usr/share/fonts/X11 on /usr/share/X11/fonts, but on systems
up to the previous revision or xorg, /usr/share/X11/fonts is a
directory, and this appears to be not handled gracefully by the upgrade
(it doensn't even appear to make dpkg break :/)

Two additional workarounds will work in light of the fact above:

 - move the existing /usr/share/X11/fonts somewhere, then do `apt-get install 
--reinstall xserver-xorg`
 - move the existing /usr/share/X11/fonts somewhere, then do `cd /usr/share/X11 
&& ln -sf ../fonts/X11 fonts`
