Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 7.0.15
Severity: important

During upgrade today I noticed the following:

Setting up xserver-xorg (7.0.15) ...
cat: /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum: No such file or directory
xserver-xorg postinst warning: /etc/X11/xorg.conf has been customized,
   but we need to make updates. Backing up your config to . If we screw
                                                        ^^^^^
   something up, restore using this file.

The filename to which the old config file is backed up is missing!

The file _is_ created though (in my case xorg.conf.20060429011120).


Also, currently the new lines are _added_ _before_ the old lines; wouldn't 
it be better to either replace them, or at least add them _after_ the 
current lines?

Also, I'm not sure where the ":unscaled" lines (see diff below) come from, 
but should these maybe be modified as well?

Finally, the changelog does not mention changing:
	Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree"
to:
	Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
Is that possibly something to do automatically as well?


Here's the diff for my config file:
