Technically, upstream names them differently from us anyway, but it is still a good point. OTOH, there've been other drivers we've had with this naming scheme that weren't being provided by the X.org project. (This could have been more due to ignorance than correctness though.) If having 'xorg' there is incorrect politically, that sounds like it suggests replacing it with the actual vendor, ala xserver-amd-video-fglrx and xserver-intel-video-psb. But then it leads to weirdness like xserver-nvidia-video-nvidia. Or maybe xserver-restricted-video-nvidia, etc. would be better.
