Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+8
Severity: important
On my new workstation (clean sid install made with debootstrap), after
xorg installation my /etc/X11/xorg.conf was empty.
I've tried both dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and dexconf, but they
give up with error code 10 without creating a configuration.
The error seem to be a missing debconf value.

Thanks for your report, this is fixed in the dexconf script in
x11-common/1:7.3+9. Here is the relevant changelog entry:
xorg (1:7.3+9) unstable; urgency=low
[ Julien Cristau ]
* Deregister old debconf questions before calling dexconf. dexconf calls
db_stop, and we can't use debconf after that. Add a comment to that
effect above the dexconf call in debian/xserver-xorg.postinst.in, to try
to prevent future mistakes. Thanks, Michael Vogt!
[ Timo Aaltonen ]
* dexconf: Remove reference to xserver-xorg/config/display/modes,
which is no longer used.
[ Brice Goglin ]
* Fix "no video driver modules found" message, thanks Robert Millan,
closes: #453930.
* Fix dexconf to write in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by default again,
closes: #456925.
[ David Nusinow ]
* Don't force fbdev on mac mini ppc any more. The ati driver no longer uses
fbdev, and it has been reported to work on mac minis without it.
* Add support for $HOME/.xsessionrc. Closes: #411639
This file, if present, will get sourced during the start of your X
session. This allows you to set session-wide environment variables easily
for things like locale information. Patch adapted from one by Yves-Alexis
Perez. Thanks also to Holger Levsen and Osamu Aoki for advice.
+ Adds 40x11-common_xsessionrc to /etc/X11/Xsession.d
+ Document this in Xsession.5 manpage
+ Add a NEWS.Debian entry about it
+ Modifies /etc/X11/Xsession to declare the location of ~/.xsessionrc.
Custom versions of Xsession (like gdm's) will need an update
* Use run-parts --list instead of a custom run_parts function.
Thanks Vagrant Cascadi for the patch. Closes: #458345, #457606
