Hmmm...this is usually because your "ServerLayout" section has a
Screen name in it that is not defined in the "Screen" section. This
should not happen unless you edited the file by hand or otherwise
worked outside the debconf configuration provided.

For example if you have

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "My Server Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"

then you should have something like this

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"

in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.
