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.

Ok I am closing for now then.
But, since neither of you guys did actually try to reproduce this exact
problem, if anybody ever reproduces, he should feel free to reopen.
