This is not quite accurate. The latest versions of the above packages are empty upgrade helpers and are harmless. Setup currently has no way of knowing that one package replaces another, so the way to do this is to create a newer (empty) version of the replaced package, and let setup install that. They should not appear on a new installation unless *absolutely everything* is installed, but on any machine that had XFree86 installed before, these packages will be in the package list.
