Today I improved my knowledge about the drivers ati and  radeon:

For those on r5xx considering -ati and are confused why they use
-radeon,  "The ati driver is a small wrapper that probes your card and
then loads the appropriate driver, either radeon, r128, or atimisc."
(see http://www.x.org/wiki/ati ).

For r5xx cards this means the radeon driver from package xserver-xorg-
video-radeon is used. Hope this information helps to reduce confusion.
At least for me :)
