This is not quite accurate.  The latest versions of the above packages are
empty upgrade helpers and are harmless.  Setup currently has no way of
knowing that one package replaces another, so the way to do this is to
create a newer (empty) version of the replaced package, and let setup
install that.  They should not appear on a new installation unless
*absolutely everything* is installed, but on any machine that had XFree86
installed before, these packages will be in the package list.
