Xorg use discover for the autodetection of the Graphiccard

Now for 2 days I think, I have read on <debian-x> that they
are working on it. (removing of discover and using the Xorg
own detection tool...

If I update 600 Sarge systems to Etch, they would currently install
discover as a depends.  And then I am in trouble since on the machines
I have recently installed (Clean Sarge) discover had detect nonexisting
Hardware and loaded over 100 modules for nothing (and conflicting).

Effectivly we need to load between 15 and 20 modules.

The dist-upgrade Woody=>Sarge had not the problem.
