This is not the test case for this bug. Why are you trying to install a
different X server stack on your system?

While ideally apt would choose the "right" solution for this case too, it's
a much harder problem for apt to correctly identify that a set of related
libraries should be replaced than it is for apt to correctly pick which
library to install. So this is out of scope for the present bug.
