Yes I had this problem too: everything that depended on X was going to 
be removed. Eventually I recovered from this mess by setting 
experimental's apt-pinning priority higher (995) then try:  "apt-get 
install xfree86-xserver".

put this into /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 995

 Remeber to lower this priority afterwards unless you generally want to 
upgrade to experimental packages.

For another approach see:

Good luck,
