If you don't select the XFree86 "upgrade" and add the Xorg-X11 packages 
next to it there is no problem. If however you later decide to uninstall 
the XFree86 packages then it will take the files installed by Xorg-X11 down 
with it (since both packages install a lot of files with the same name at 
the same path). To prevent that they install an "upgrade" with no files at 
all to make it save to remove the package without causing damage at a later 
time. Alternatively you can also uninstall the XFree86 packages directly at 
the same time you install the Xorg-X11 packages.

I'm no expert, but that is what I could make of this practice. Your 
description is okay, you want to describe a clean install, not an upgrade.

Kind regards,

Henk.
