Yes, version numbers are more or less meaningless in this case.  As someone
else pointed out, there are such things as non-XFree86 X server as well,
though they are rare on Debian systems.  :)

I suggest depending on xserver-common (>= 3.3.6), xserver-common (<< 4.0)
until Stephen Gore and I figure out exactly what we're going to do with
XFree86 3.3.6.
