Ah, here are the message. Please disregard my recent post to your
original message. Aptitude is telling you what the problem is (missing,
obsoleted or available from another source). Did you check ubuntu's

What does the following give?
$> aptitude  why-not xserver-xorg-video-intel

And the following.
$> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel
