This sounds quite similar to the xdebconfigurator package from the
debian-edu project:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/xdebconfigurator
Description: A script used with debconf to autoconfigure xserver-xfree86
A script-package used in conjunction with debconf to autoconfigure
xserver-xfree86. This script is supposed to help setup X correctly
even with DEBIAN_FRONTEND set to noninteractive.
Did anybody ever had a look whether it might make sense to throw that
one in for the desktop task in order to configure X? Seems to work quite
fine for Skolelinux, but I did not have a thourough look.
