Yes.

All Linux computers at our Institute are installed using a chroot-Image and 
rsync. The server has an ati card installed and I'm using the following 
script to update the xorg.conf during each bootup:

XFCONF="/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
DRIVER=$(discover --data-path=xfree86/server/device/driver display | sort -u)

for file in $XFCONF ; do
        sed -i -e "s/#####-DRIVER-#####/${DRIVER:-i810}/g" $XFCONF
done

Hence, the debconf entry is not valid for most computers.
