So far, radeonhd couldn't be selected at all in dpkg-reconfigure, I am
merging this bug with the other ones. This should be fixed in the next
upload in unstable.

It is not clear to me whether dpkg-reconfigure will choose it
automatically though, you might have to do it manually. But this does
not really matter in the end since we want to get rid of this and just
have the server load the right driver at startup.

Reportbug just runs lspci, that's easy :) Xorg needs to match the PCI id
in a database to find the right driver. It is not as easy, especially
when radeonhd isn't in the database :)
