If you are using X4 and have only XF86Config (not XF86Config-4) then it will work (assuming the file is for version 4). Thus the names _can_ be the same.

I first saw it when I installed woody (potato base -> dist-upgrade -> install everything else) and it correctly generated the config for me (vesafb). On my desktop machine I had hand-made a config for an SiS card, then adjusted it to use vesafb as well. I told debconf to leave me alone and it has. -D -- Python is executable pseudocode. Perl is executable line noise.
