+  * debian/{xdm.{config,postinst,prerm}.in,xfree86-common.{config,postinst}.in,
+    xserver-common.{config,postinst,preinst}.in}: be sure to source the debconf
+    confmodule *before* setting any variables local to the maintainer script;
+    the way confmodule works causes the values of any unexported variables
+    already set to be lost (I tremble at how many subtle bugs and how much
+    wacky behavior must have been caused by this).  Thanks to Eduard Bloch for
+    noticing odd dexconf behavior which led me to this realization.
