Yeah, the debconfage never supported creating dual monitors and there's no
plans to make this happen. What will ideally work in the end is to not have
any sort of configuration for this setup in your xorg.conf, and just let
the server detect it and set it up for you. I don't believe the current
code does this though, but I may be able to make it happen in the future.
