Bug#337611: xserver-xorg: This may be related to a locally-modified xorg.conf
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-9
Followup-For: Bug #334340
Same problem here with a little addition. Not only is the message repeated
3 times, also it _ends_ with postinst stating no updates were made.
If one can test if the config-file won't be updated should not the message
be a warning which does not need any interactive response in the first
place?
It is the difference between a interactive and a non-interactive upgrade.
People who tweak their xorg.conf will be seearching the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
anyway if the system won't start again.
With regards,

necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.
