Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13
Severity: minor
I note if one does
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
one then answers lots of questions. But in the end it is all a waste,
in the case one does not have the right comments in XF86Config-4.
Therefore, before getting started, the user should be told "your
XF86Config-4 is apparently not being maintained by this program ...
..."
Removing XF86Config-4 and then doing dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
also just asks a lot of questions, but in the end, nothing useful is written.
# find /etc -mtime -1 -type f
proves it.

Actually, my xorg.conf was outdated. The current dexconf generates the
following paragraph at the end of xorg.conf headers:
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Obviously, it also works if you didn't edit the file. This comment looks
ok to me (now that the possibly scary md5sum command line have been
removed :)).
So I am closing this bug now.
