Timo: I don't know exactly for the 14.04.3 LTS -utopic to -vivid HWE upgrade, but I can confirm this bug is still present for the 14.04.3 LTS -trusty to -vivid HWE upgrade.

I've just done a fresh install of 14.04.x LTS, using a PXE server so I'm not exactly sure what the x was in the image I used. On completion of the install and updates I was left with a 14.04.3 LTS and the original kernel and X server, i.e. linux-generic and xserver-xorg. I updated them to linux-generic-lts-vivid and xserver-xorg-lts-vivid. After purging the old xserver-xorg related packages, the /etc/X11/X link was gone.

I still believe this bug should not be left unfixed, but perhaps that's just me.
