This still violates the "package scripts should not touch xorg.conf" rule. Ideally AMD would fix this by supporting a xorg's driver autodetect feature (where you don't even need an xorg.conf file). You can send them a bug report: http://emailcustomercare.amd.com/ Otherwise, since their code is closed, we can't do more than add the postinst message.
