Maybe what we need are people who read package descriptions prior to
install:

Package: xserver-xfree86
[...]
Suggests: discover, mdetect, read-edid
[...]
 If the discover, mdetect and read-edid packages are installed, the debconf
 scripts in this package will use them to attempt automatic configuration
 of the X server based on your information returned by your video card,
 mouse, and monitor.
