Userspace libraries can depend on a specific version. I'm leaning towards killing the entire package, since the less packages altered, the easier we can support it. libxres1 will remove x11-common-renamed because it depends on x11-common (>= ...), and it was required on my way to building xserver-xorg-core, oops.

Probably best to drop some of the metapackages from the renamed source,
like x11-common, xorg-dev, xbase-clients, xutils. You need the important
metapackages though; xorg, xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-{input,video}-all
in order to be able to actually install the renamed packages without
pulling them in one by one.
