This incorrectly indented, tasteless, dangerous hack:

Got my upgrade going again:
Setting up xserver-xorg (7.1.0-11) ...
xserver-xorg postinst warning: Migrating xserver-xfree86 debconf values
to xserver-xorg.
xserver-xorg postinst warning: failed to infer keyboard layout from

$
I've no idea what the consequences will be, although they can scarcely
be worse than a stuck, half-complete upgrade.
