Same happens with the QGIS 2.6.1 deb package (post alpha2)

[Bas Couwenberg]

The qgis-mapserver package was renamed in QGIS 2.6.0 to qgis-server.

Changing the install scripts to install qgis-server instead should resolve the problem:

You'll also want to remove all the obsolete qgis packages for previous versions from the APT repository.
