File specific bugs, so they can get fixed.
xserver-xorg's configuration script was a maintenance nightmare, and its
detection mechanisms were worse than those now built into X itself.
The config fragment X outputs to the log when it autoconfigures is what
it uses, so I have no idea why you think it's useless.
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/examples/xorg.conf also has an example
config, fwiw.
Cheers,
Julien
