When comparing the two logs (one with debug and one without) I noticed that they start to diverge when the xserver bits
are removed. Its not quite clear yet why, I run with -o Debug::pkgDPkgProgressReporting next

The dry-run has:
/usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --status-fd 96 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --remove xserver-xorg-video-tseng ^M^M
/usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --status-fd 98 --unpack --auto-deconfigure /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion_1%3a1.7.5-1build2_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-video-ati_1%3a6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb ^M^M
/usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --status-fd 100 --force-depends --force-remove-essential --remove xserver-xorg-video-nv ^M^M

And the real one:
