There are many similar questions about this (google knows), and many 
answers from people knowing more than me.

xorg.conf seems to me not to be deprecated, but not necessary to have 
(for many typical setups), and it is therefore not created by default 
anymore. Create it by hand to configure the xserver to do anything it 
fails to do by default.

From my /usr/share/doc/xorg/changelog.gz:
-----------------
[...]
xorg (1:7.4+2) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * Get rid of the remaining xserver-xorg debconf question (Bus ID).
    Detection of the primary device should happen in the kernel and/or X
    server.  With this change, we don't generate any xorg.conf anymore.
[...]
----------------


Hope it helps
