Bug Description

The xorg-driver-fglrx package depends on xserver-xorg. I think this dependency is too strong, as it implies also the installation of all the drivers in xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-input-all.

I guess it should only depend on xserver-xorg-core instead, so that one could drop useless drivers depending on the hardware.

If you've installed xorg-driver-fglrx, then the xserver-xorg should have its dependency of "xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video" satisfied by the fglrx driver. Is this not the case?
