["franglais.125" <1400626@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I upgraded my system to the utopic stack. Unfortunately, after cleaning
old config files I rebooted to find that X couldn't be started.
Essentially the symlink "/etc/X11/X" got deleted. I recreated it
manually (reconfiguring xserver-xorg-lts-utopic also works).

I guess this is a known issue (bug #1132736). Any way to avoid this when
upgrading HWE?

Timo, I saw you were affected by this on Precise. Same thing on Trusty
for you?

Bug description:
  In order to upload the new xorg-server we need to backport the following packages from utopic:
  libdrm
  x11proto-core
  x11proto-fonts
  xtrans

  libdrm 2.4.52-1->2.4.56-1 seems to have the following changes:
  - Hides private symbols from all libdrm libraries
  - fixes MSAA on Hawaii (radeon).
  - Adds cherryview pci-ids (intel).
  - Makes libdrm-nouveau threadsafe with concurrent access to the drm fd.
  - Fixes to exynos and freedreno.
  - Enables building libdrm-freedreno1 and libdrm-exynos1

  x11proto-core's main change appears to be changing from the 'pointer' type to 'void *':
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/173873109/x11proto-core_7.0.24-1_7.0.26-1.diff.gz

  x11proto-fonts' main change is the same as x11proto-core, but the documentation is reformatted too:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/173873038/x11proto-fonts_2.1.2-1_2.1.3-1.diff.gz

  xtrans seems to have 2 minor changes, increase default unix pipe size and add support for systemd socket activation:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/173873112/xtrans_1.3.2-1_1.3.4-1.diff.gz

  xorg needs to be slightly updated, to allow xserver-xorg to provide
  the unrenamed lts-utopic, and to allow xorg to be installed with the
  renamed xorg-server.
