Modifications of user configuration files such as /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf is always problematic. (Causes interactive dpkg conflict resolution dialogs.)
Is there something like /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf.d?
Alternatively I guess it would be better to config-package-dev displace /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap.
Relevant apt-file list xserver-xorg-legacy:
xserver-xorg-legacy: /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap

The /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf modifications didn't work for me. But sudo mv /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap ~/ worked for me.
So let's go with config-package-dev displace /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap?

If /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap is present it will always be used as default Xorg binary, so we'll go again through /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf
It seems that Qubes doesn't need to run Xorg as root (see qubes-run-xorg.sh) so in our case the wrapper is useless.
config-package-dev displace on /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap sound safe.

In kali templates, we can't remove it without breaking kali-linux dependencies, the kali-linux meta-package will install packages that depend on xserver-xorg-legacy. (kali-desktop-common)

What about getting rid of xserver-xorg-legacy? Conflicts: xserver-xorg-legacy?
That would prevent the kali-linux package from being installed at the same time as qubes-gui-agent.
What could work however is qubes-gui-agent using Provides: xserver-xorg-legacy. Then the kali-linux package should no longer pull in xserver-xorg-legacy since it already is provided.

Is this better solution? I feel it should be better than modifying/moving file belonging to other package. But that feeling is mostly based on rpm experience.

If that works it should be better indeed. Didn't occur to me earlier
when I wrote above PR.
Maybe qubes-gui-agent should use both:
Provides: xserver-xorg-legacy
Conflicts: xserver-xorg-legacy
I guess we'd have to test various cases.
Case one is xserver-xorg-legacy already installed, then installing newer
qubes-gui-agent.
Case two is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed, then pulling
kali-linux and see if that stops pulling xserver-xorg-legacy and
otherwise complaining.
Case three is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed and
manually trying to install xserver-xorg-legacy. Ideally nothing would
happen. Though this use case my not apply to our situation here.

Both Provides: and Conflicts:
Case three is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed and manually trying to install xserver-xorg-legacy. Ideally nothing would happen. Though this use case my not apply to our situation here.
It tries to replace qubes-gui-agent with xserver-xorg-legacy
Case one is xserver-xorg-legacy already installed, then installing newer qubes-gui-agent.
Upgrade of qubes-gui-agent is prevented, even with apt-get dist-upgrade.
Case two is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed, then pulling kali-linux and see if that stops pulling xserver-xorg-legacy and otherwise complaining.
This is the only case when it does the job. kali-linux is installed without problem and no longer pulls xserver-xorg-legacy.
Just Provides:
Case one is xserver-xorg-legacy already installed, then installing newer qubes-gui-agent.
qubes-gui-agent is upgraded normally, but xserver-xorg-legacy is not removed. Then it can be removed manually, without removing kali-linux.
Case two is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed, then pulling kali-linux and see if that stops pulling xserver-xorg-legacy and otherwise complaining.
This works fine.
Case three is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed and manually trying to install xserver-xorg-legacy. Ideally nothing would happen. Though this use case my not apply to our situation here.
xserver-xorg-legacy is installed normally, no other effects.
Provides:, Conflicts: and Replaces:
This idea is based on https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s7.6.2
Case one is xserver-xorg-legacy already installed, then installing newer qubes-gui-agent.
xserver-xorg-legacy is not removed, qubes-gui-agent upgrade is prevented (both apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade).
Case two is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed, then pulling kali-linux and see if that stops pulling xserver-xorg-legacy and otherwise complaining.
xserver-xorg-legacy is no longer installed, kali-linux is installed correctly.
Case three is having newer qubes-gui-agent already installed and manually trying to install xserver-xorg-legacy. Ideally nothing would happen. Though this use case my not apply to our situation here.
Installation of xserver-xorg-legacy removes qubes-gui-agent.
Conclusion
I think the best option from the above is just Provides: xserver-xorg-legacy. For people having Kali already installed, they have already modified /etc/X11/Xwrapper.conf manually, so shouldn't be a problem. What do you think @adrelanos @unman ?

Another options would be Provides: as well as Replaces:. But nevermind.
I guess it's better to keep it simple.
So yes, only using Provides: seems like a fine solution.
