Why do you think this is a bug in dexconf?
The changelog contains:
  * Don't specify the device section to use in the screen section
    + xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4-3 and above will use the first device section
      listed when none is specified. We only write one device with this script
      anyway.
    + Have xserver-xorg depend on -core >= 2:1.4-3

So this is intentional as far as I can tell.

Cheers,
Julien
