The top of XF86Config-4 says:
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands as root:
#
# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom
# md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
The file /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum is used to see whether the
file matches its state the last time it was dpkg-reconfigure-ed ...
