Ok, I understand.
I tested it and with the new xorg-server version and without xxvi
primus still works perfectly fine, so I changed the dependency as
follows:

xorg-server (>= 2:1.18.3-2) | xserver-xorg-video-intel (>= 2:2.99.917)

If that seems reasonable for you I'll do a new upload tomorrow.

Kind regards,
