I disagree. That is beyond the intended scope of the X server debconf
support.
Quoting dexconf(8):
It is also important to note that dexconf, and the corresponding deb-
conf questions whose answers it retrieves, are not intended to replace
a full-featured X server configuration tool; that is the province of
xf86cfg(1), currently under development by the XFree86 Project, Inc.
In the meantime, however, users inexperienced with the syntax of the
XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file may use dexconf to generate the X
server configuration file with a minimal amount of detailed knowledge
of their hardware characteristics.
The purpose of this config tool is to get a usable single-head
configuration going for people who know nothing of the X Window System
or XFree86.
