You probably don't have it, it's not installed by default since it's
seldom needed, and even when there's a Xorg problem it's more
straightforward to just edit the xorg.conf.
It's in Sid for sure, I didn't check for other levels.
GUI to edit configuration files like xorg.conf is just not Debian's way
of life I guess...

My point is not to start yet another sterile "MYDistro vs Yours"®©
thread, and it would clearly be OT here to go into details about
OpenSuse, but I don't find it less rational to use runlevels 1 and 2
rather than 3 and 5 like in OpenSuse... And there's a "single" or
"recovery" entry in the grub menu too.
