IMHO, it is a bug. Because I tried lots of things before putting this on the list: one was to remove /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 entirely. And even then a new file did not appear. The question is: if it is a bug, then of what? dpkg? dexconf? xserver?In my ignorant opinion, xserver, because that'll have to be modified to fix the problem.just wanted to chip in and say I also think it's a bug -- esp if you forget that you've modified your XF86Config-4 manually! presumably this is a simple thing to fix, though I guess I deserve to be flamed for saying that without volunteering to fix it myself...
Question is: is it a new phenomenon (a.k.a. bug), or has Debian always behaved this way? I've been using Debian for a good many years now, and think I'd have noticed it earlier in the latter case ..
