Bug#229850: DEFAULT_HORIZ_SYNC and DEFAULT_VERT_REFRESH still ignored (updated patch)

[Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>]

I tried these new configuration files today, but I had a lot of
problems with them and didn't really get anywhere.  I'll look again
this weekend in hopes of being able to provide some useful feedback.
Even with dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-xfree86, the get-edid part
of the config script never seemed to get run.  Also, several things
that used to have defaults (I forget the exact questions, but they
were keyboard questions whose answers were "xfree86", "pc104", and
"us") didn't forcing me to actually enter something for those.  When I
got all the way through the questions, the configuration blew out
because I didn't have an identifier for the monitor.  When I restarted
with low priority, I was prompted for the video card and monitor
identifiers without defaults.  In the past, those used to be
automatically detected.  (Well, at least the monitor was, but the lack
of autodetection of the video card is probably a discover problem
which has already been reported.)

Also, the templates file had fields _Description and _Choices.  I
clobbered the leading _ to get debconf to not complain and to actually
display the text.

Let me know if I should work more with these or whether there will be
other files to try.  By the way, I'm running 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 now.  I
most likely won't have time again before the weekend.

Just wondering... how are you testing these scripts?  I imagine this
must be very difficult to test without a wide array of hardware.
