I just did
$ dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-xorg && apt-get install xserver-xorg
to my machine. It purges xserver-xorg despite the dependencies and
immediately reinstalls it, writing a new xorg.conf file. [1]

If that's what you want...

I think someone should fix bug really soon. It really strained my nerves
before I found above solution.
