A user who has xserver-xorg-driver-all or xserver-xorg-driver-* installed
needs to be migrated to the new packages.  This means creating otherwise
empty packages with the old names which depend on the new packages, e.g.:

xserver-xorg-driver-all Depends: xserver-xorg-video-all
xserver-xorg-driver-ati Depends: xserver-xorg-video-ati
...
etc.
