Did the d-i team consider using the xdebconfigurator package? 

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.

Just a thought, I haven't really seen it in action.
