I would try without, first. (Does debconf ask you something laptop specific 
at install time ? Don't know, it's long since my last debian installation.)

There was a friend with a new Ubuntu installation on a T21 some days before, 
but it booted into low VGA mode (640x400 or so) only, because somehow a wrong 
max hsync line got inserted into the xorg.conf: 33.3 KHz was too less for 1024x768, 
it had to be more than 35 (according to the Xorg.0.log), and i seem to remember a 
recommended value of 43 (to be on the safe side, probably). 
I think LCD don't work 'synced' like that, anyway, and Knoppix inserts something 
around 70 even if you choose the laptop kernel, so i guess, for LCD upper limit just 
doesn't matter. This example shows, however, that a wrong value could take effect, 
though rather on the X code than on the hardware.
