  Make me number 5. However, when I saw that dpkg-reconfigure had been
  tickled on my last upgrade, I immediately went to the configuration
  file to see what was afoot.

  The only changes I had to make was to swap the order of the 75 and 100
  dpi lines and change the initial resolution. The rest of the new
  configuration was "better" than my old one. How would one make these
  changes in debconf so that they would be preserved across updates?

  If you were running stable that would be the case. But you're not.

  Remember than when woody becomes stable, users will have to upgrade
  from XFree 3.x to XFree 4.x so their configuration files will change
  anyway. The X configuration has come a long, long way and is very
  nearly automatic, and that's a good thing.
