Bug#326203: cannot reconfigure twice in the same minute

[Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal

Reconfiguring (dpkg-reconfigure) this package twice in the same minute results
in something like:

  : error: backup xorg.conf file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200509021344 already exists;                                               
  please remove it and try again

You could change the filename to include numbers untill the second, just
overwrite the file, or reduce the error to an informational warning.
