First, I usually choose what I need manally, and I check these very carefully.
I can make sure that xorg and gnome are installed indeed.

I solved this problem by using a old xorg.conf from another debian in my
desktop pc, with minor changes.
Now everything is ok, sometimes there will be a error message in X.log,
something like "No screen found", and X system will down. But after rebooting
it, it will be ok. That's strange.

In My recent upgrade, Xorg was unninstalled due to the dependecy problems I had. Reinstalling it Just worked fine with my lenny xorg.conf.

No! Of course not!
I use Debian on my notebook since Etch, withou never doing a clean install, Just upgrading.
For Lenny, I have waited for the release to upgrade, what makes thigs a little easier. But now I was to much anxious to wait for Squeeze (cause of kde4, ooo, etc...).
The only problems was by not upgrading the kernel first, but now it's everthing working fine.

Unfortunately, that not always possible. Mainly for notebooks. But upgrading to a new kernel, boot it, and then install every module needed before full-upgrade is not a pain.
For me, my only problem was madwifi. But I had just to unninstall it and use the new kernel ath5k module (that didn't work in my old kernel). Any additional modules that I need could be installed easy by m-a.

Are these coming from xserver-xorg-input-wacom? Something like this:

udevd[499]: SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules

In that case it is a bug in xserver-xorg-input-wacom. Please see this
bug report for details.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565126

My workaround is to purge that package and then reinstall it and the
parent meta-package that brought it in by dependency. The purge
removes all configuration files. The install brings in pristine
copies of the configuration files.

$ dpkg -L xserver-xorg-input-wacom | grep udev/rules.d/
/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules

# apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom
# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all

$ dpkg -L xserver-xorg-input-wacom | grep udev/rules.d/
/lib/udev/rules.d/69-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules

Bob

Purge and then reinstall the package did the trick.
Thanks.
