AFAIK one of the questions debconf asks when setting up X (don't know in
what exact package this question is) is:
"Do you want debconf to manage your /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file"
Answering NO should do the trick here.
I told debconf no on that question (since I have a highly tweaked config
file and unofficial SiS drivers for my laptop) and everything worked
just great after the upgrade, since debconf didn't touch the file.
