... and just, 4 lines below that:

# If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes# before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the
# "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below.
#
# To change things within the debconf section, run the command:

# XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file?" in /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz.
