You are right...

...then I see no neccessary for it. But maybe description like ati/r128 in
debconf templates will be good idea? README.r128 is mislead. It claims:

            Section "Device"
                Identifier "Rage 128"
                Driver     "r128"
            EndSection

and there is nothing said that Driver "ati" is sufficient.

However there is a note in README.ati.gz, but who will read it after reading
README.r128? Well, I read it even now, just to check :)

I decided to reopen this bug as a wishlist, but if you mind that working
on it is just a wasting time feel free to close it - I wont object.

If you consider this wish as worth to fix please note me which way you preffer:
change a debconf template or make note in documentation. I will prepare
a patch[1].

Cheers

[1] I see patch for README.r128 really trivial :)
