Hi Richard,

can you please take that discussion upstream to
xorg@lists.freedesktop.org?  We're not going to change the behaviour of
xrandr in a Debian-only patch, but it's possible upstream would be
willing to drop this particular "feature".

Thanks for your report, and sorry for the late answer.

Cheers,
Julien
