As you see, "The Debian Way" is to use dpkg-reconfigure.
Often, Xorg will at least start by not using an xorg.conf file at all.
If dpkg-reconfigure doesn't give you a functioning X, you could try, as
root:
# xorg -configure
This should generate a basic config file that you can edit or at least
get some info to then plug into your dpkg-reconfigure answers.
