Yet when I add the checksum, I get the same result:

/var/lib/dpkg/info# cat xserver-common.conffiles
/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

/var/lib/dpkg/info# md5sum /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
dd876d1ea24b7d78725699b82afb2c68  /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

/var/lib/dpkg/info# head -2 xserver-common.md5sums
dd876d1ea24b7d78725699b82afb2c68  etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
5e63f298721bdd4062d3c66967df99ba  etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

/var/lib/dpkg/info# export DEBUG_XFREE86_PACKAGE=YES
/var/lib/dpkg/info# export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline
/var/lib/dpkg/info# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common

xserver-common postinst note: not updating /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config; no
   stored checksum available

Where must I add the checksum so debconf recognizes it?
