Confirmed in Intrepid Release 2.6.27-7-generic Daniel, if it is indeed not possible to query the hardware, my suggestion would be to prompt the user. Like when you change your menu.lst for grub, if there are changes in the file it lets the user make the decision to keep theirs or overwrite with the package maintainer's version.
If the user is prompted somehow with information and the option to enable or disable, then given directions on how to access the setting it would be a lot more "friendly" and people wouldn't have to spend x time trying to find this post. Or, heaven forbid, they don't even really know whats going on and are just trying the OS for the first time.
