Guys, the old dpkg-reconfigure was no panacea. It was barely more
tolerable to people than editing xorg.conf. Tons more people complained
about it than are complaining now that it's gone. It failed more than
it worked anyway, was a huge buggy hack of a code, and it consumed too
much maintenance energy upstream at Debian. They dropped it with good
riddance once the autoconfigure stuff proved to be sufficiently
reliable. And for similar reasons, its too cumbersome to be practical
for Ubuntu to maintain instead.
This bug report seems to have turned into more of a discussion forum
than something that can feasibly be implemented. Unless someone can
propose an actually implementable idea, then I think this should be
closed as invalid. I'll leave it open for now to see if any practical
approaches get suggested.
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist
