Oops. I wanted to make sure you would find by yourself. ;-)

No reason! Please do add it.

X would not find it; it really needed to be listed in the search path in
xorg.conf.

Actually it’s ‘xorg-start-command’ that creates xorg.conf.
The best thing would be to add a parameter to that function to allow
arbitrary text to be appended. (Well, not just text, but a list of
strings and possibly packages; the ‘xserver.conf’ procedure would do
(apply text-file* "xserver.conf" ... user-text).)
WDYT?
