Description:
When upgrading system in [testing], xorg-server fails with the following error:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so exists in filesystem
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so exists in filesystem

Removing the files makes the upgrade proceed correctly, so package script has to be updated to not stop upgrade if files are present.
This task depends upon
