When I upgraded from -6 to -7, my XF86Config-4 was replaced. This isn't
usually a problem, but it changed the display mode to incorrect values,
cutting off 2 inches from the right side of my display (I have an
odd-shaped lcd monitor). I realize that I have dexconf set to manage my
XF86Config-4, but shouldn't it be smart enough to know that something's
incorrect, since its stored values are completely different from what's
in the config file (and the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" isn't even the
file)? The postinst bailing out ("Error: your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is
incorrectly formatted, yet you have this package configured to manage
it; please run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to fix this") would've
been preferable, I think.
More than anything else, not having my screen mode (1152x768) as an
option in dexconf is a nuisance. An even better solution (imo) would
be the option to manually type in your mode if it's not in the list.
This is my previous, correct XF86Config-4:

This is no longer a problem in recent versions of the xfree86 packages.
xfree86 (4.2.1-11) unstable; urgency=3Dmedium
* The following configuration files use a new, MD5-checksum-based method =
of
management:
- /etc/X11/X
- /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
- /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
This new method attempts to detect changes to these files, and if they =
are
modified by the user, the files will be ignored by the packaging system
henceforth. The debconf region markers (e.g. "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTIO=
N")
formerly used in Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4 are no longer used, a=
re
disregarded if present, and will not be newly written.
The debconf templates in the xserver-common, xserver-xfree86, and
xserver-xfree86-dbg packages (the latter shares all of its templates wi=
th
xserver-xfree86) having to do with whether or not files on the disk sho=
uld
be overwritten have been removed, and are unregistered in the new
packages' pre-installation scripts.
In the event that you have customized these configuration files, and ha=
ve
neglected both to correct debconf's notion of whether it should manage
those files, and (in the case of Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4) have
not removed the "debconf region markers" before upgrading to xfree86
4.2.1-10 or later, backups are made and stored in the same directory, w=
ith
the suffix ".dpkg-old".
See the Debian X FAQ at <http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/FAQ> or =
in
the file /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ.gz after this upgrade is
complete for more information on the Debian XFree86 packages' new method
of handling these configuration files.
