this has happened since X.org became more modular so far as I can
remember.
I, personally, leave all the modules in place in case they are ever
needed. I guess that on a laptop the hardware isn't going to change in
its lifetime but on a desktop system pretty well everything could
change.
I am not sure what doing "aptitude purge xserver-xorg-video-?" will
do as I have never even thought of doing it, I don't know any other
safe way of deleting one of these modules.
