Weird, if I remove the installation of libnvidia-wfb.so as well, then
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so is removed, but no symlink installed.

Ahh, I bet it's because nvidia_driver thinks it owns libwfb.so! My next cast
of
mesalib, xorg-server and nvidia_driver left libwfb.so as xorg-server's.

So the upgrade issue appears to be:
1. xorg-server 1.5.2 now installs a working libwfb.so
2. nvidia_driver overwrote libwfb.so even if it was installed
3. nvidia_driver still thinks it owns libwfb.so and will remove it during
dispel, and then redo the symlink (with my fix from Comment #10, or just
overwrite it again without the fix)

Once nvidia_driver no longer thinks it owns libwfb.so, the fix from Comment
#10
works, at least until xorg-server stops installing libwfb.so, then
nvidia_driver will install its own and will own it, even when xorg-server is
fixed.

We still need to figure out how to get the upgrade path to work without
futzing. Perhaps remove libwfb.so from nvidia_driver's install log?
