dexconf currently inserts the following test in the header of xorg.conf. Don't you think the last 6 lines are enough? I agree that it is not totally clear that you can just run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to get xorg.conf updated if you didn't modify the file by hand. Feel free to prepare a patch against debconf :) Depending on your answer, I will either close this bug or make it a wishlist against x11-common with a updated title. Thanks.
