16 bit is more colours than 256 colours (which is 8 bit).
To answer the "how" part of the question, its down by debconf. The
trick is figuring out which xorg package it is. Try something like:
# dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
If it asks about the default number of bits (8, 16, 24, 32), then answer
as you wish and you've found the right package. If it doesn't, try a
different xorg package. Note that debconf will use the current existing
settings as a default to present you. So you can just accept the
default until you get to the appropriate question.
