Yes, but it does not buy you anything with the current XFree. This used
to be a symlink to the "right" server, but now there is only one on most
archs and it loads the "right" modules itself. So the whole operation is
a waste - and we actually do not save the working X environment for the user,
when upgrading.

And looking at the code it seems it is still doing this (upgrade.c:save_X).

My question was: should we either remove save_X or replace it with something
working? I'm all for the latter.
