Debian builds xserver 21 using autotools. When debian builds xserver-xorg for constrained environments like the installer, it wants to build against the static library of libnettle for SHA1, see debian/patches/03_static-nettle.diff in the debian repository at https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/xserver/xorg-server.git This modification of configure.ac makes it possible to build static nettle when needed, while preserving the build to use nettle with a dynamic library when passing a different configuration option.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
