Much easier solution: Promote the Breaks: for the old video ABIs to
Conflicts:. That will convince apt to actually remove the old drivers
instead of holding back the whole stack, and it will also do the right
thing in both the main/universe and main-only cases.

-vesa will provide a fallback on machines which actually do use -s3 etc.

infinity | I'd have to re-read the Breaks code, and/or the policy description, but I suspect that Breaks on virtual packages (as opposed to versioned Breaks on real packages) will never really do what you were hoping.
infinity | Cause we'll want to deconfigure the virtual provider, hoping for an upgrade to come along and fix it, and no upgrade will happen.
