Nothing should mess with xorg.conf on upgrades, so any modification you
make will be respected. The DefaultDepth directive in the Screen
section is probably what you want.
xorg.conf does get rewritten by an apt-get upgrade on x86 "Lenny", and
I've certainly seen that happen on SPARC with older versions. I know
that DefaultDepth is what I want, but what I don't know is why the
installer is setting it to the default 24 for hardware that doesn't have
that capability.
