Not by default it didn't:
Template: xserver-xfree86/config/modules
Type: multiselect
Choices: GLcore, bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, speedo, type1, vbe, xtt
Default: GLcore, bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, speedo, type1, vbe
Description: Select the XFree86 server modules that should be loaded by default.

The only way both were selected was if someone or something told debconf
to select them both.
My own configuration script is not such a "something".
# server modules to load
# XXX: damnit, explicitly loading the dri module is broken for sunffb users :-P
db_get xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver

else
MODULE_LIST="GLcore, bitmap, dbe, ddc, dri, extmod, freetype, glx, int10, record, speedo, type1, vbe"
