Then it should prbably also mention that lspci -n prints hex numbers,
but X takes decimal... from the pciutils changelog:

pciutils (1:2.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Matthew Wilcox ]
  [...]
  * Remove -X option as upstream has vetoed it.  It wasn't actually being
    used anyway.

[...]

pciutils (1:2.1.11-13) unstable; urgency=low

  [...]
  * Add -X option for output suitable for use in XFree86Config (closes:
    #251828)

Looks like it was used after all.
