I tried letting xorg-server overwrite the nvidia-utils symlink, and I also tried renaming libwfb from xorg-server and leaving the nvidia-utils symlink in place. Doesn't seem to make a difference for me. No problems.
I reviewed the nvidia docs, and this file looks like it's related to the 8000 series of nvidia cards, something about software renderig interface. Since I have a 6800GS, I probably don't even use that file.
That was stupid of me of not running ls -l. Running rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so and rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libnvidia-wfb.so.100.14.11 installed all upgrades from testing ok.
Please report back about success and if need be, failures. ;)
