This actually comes from xorg's package hook. I guess there's no way
around having $DISPLAY set for some commands, but maybe it can be
quiesced a bit. Something like this, perhaps:

  if os.environ.get('DISPLAY'):
      # do commands which need $DISPLAY
  # do commands which don't need $DISPLAY

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged
