D-i does install both read-edid and mdetect during first stage installation.
However, they are both _uninstalled_ somewhere during base-config.
(See also #250422)

I have noticed myself that if read-edid and mdetect are installed at the same 
time as xfree-xserver86 (e.g. by selecting them from the "suggests" list), 
they may not be used during X configuration (as they are not yet set up at 
that time).

Cheers,
