Bug#368367: xserver-xorg: [dexconf] xorg.conf a zero file if keyboard detection failed at install
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 7.0.19
Severity: important

Upon a fresh installation of X11 7.0, dexconf produces a zero-lenght
xorg.conf, whenever automatic keyboard detection failed (debconf:high).
A zero file is also produced at debconf:medium priority. At this priority,
dexconf DOES inform the user that configuration failed and suggests running
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", but doing exactly that fixes nothing: the
post-install script informs that is has NOT updated the config, because it
thinks that /etc/X11/X has been modified (which is not the case).
Trying "dpkg-reconfigure -p low xserver-xorg" does not solve it either;
the user is still left with a zero-lenght xorg.conf.
