Could the selection of Xserver be left to the packager?

So a company could create their own .deb file and make it depend on a
certain Xserver package as they needed.

And then in the client they could either force a certain Xserver or just
tell users how to configure for the Xserver that they use or just let
them use whatever they like for an Xserver.
