This is actually caused by multiarch packages present. I fixed this by manually removing the google-earth-stable:i386, teamviewer7:stable and libgl1-*:i368 packages which also removed wine1.4 (which depends on wine1.4:i386) and skype:i386.

Even though this is a bug in the default apt solver (which goes and tries to drop a lot of KDE and other packages), this should be documented on the page mentioned on the initial report.

The aspcud solver helped a lot in solving this:

root@slpn-nb-mss:~# apt-get install --no-remove xserver-xorg-lts-quantal --solver aspcud
