['Solved'] xorg-server 1.9.0-1 split into several xorg servers

So what's up with the [Testing]'s xorg-server 1.9(.0-1) being split into xorg-server/-common/-devel/-xdmx/-xephyr/-xnest/-xvfb?

Do we only need xorg-server-common and xorg-server to run the system as before?
Do we need to have xorg-server-devel only to rebuild nouveau, intel and the other open drivers, or also the closed ones (nvidia)?

nvidia doesn't get built, just repackaged, so it doesn't require any xorg-server-* stuff to build. The -devel package is required to build drivers from source. The xorg-server and xorg-server-common packages are the usual packages that will become installed on all desktop systems.
