Let's try this from the other side:
I only enabled the legacy modules because I still need them.

One particular example: libXxf86misc is still used by 8 packages in
pkgsrc, but the necessary xf86miscproto headers are not installed by
xorgproto except with --enable-legacy.

But when legacy is enabled, I also get headers that are moved to a
different package and thus the conflicts.

Why is xf86miscproto in the legacy set?
