Bug#365999: xserver-xorg: incorrect postinst warning

[Gabor Gombas <gombasg@sztaki.hu>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.16
Severity: minor


Hi,

Upgrading xserver-xorg produced the following message:

Setting up xserver-xorg (7.0.16) ...
xserver-xorg postinst warning: /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been customized, but we need to make
   updates. Backing up your config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20060504121741. If we screw something up,
   restore using this file.

But

# diff -u /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20060504121741
#

So either

- there was no need to update anything, therefore no message should have
  been printed, or
- updating xorg.conf have failed for some reason that is not displayed.
