    I use the modesetting driver provided by xserver-xorg-core for my Intel hardware.
    Yet xserver-xorg insist on pulling in other video drivers due to
    Depends: xserver-xorg-video-all | xorg-driver-video

    xserver-xorg-core should have a
    Provides: xserver-xorg-video
    so unneeded drivers can be uninstalled

    This would be nice, but I fear this would cause new installs to not pull xserver-xorg-video-all. If that's so, maybe we could fix that by having the necessary task depend on xserver-xorg-video-all directly...
