I manage XF86Config-4 with debconf.
I know the file almost by heart, but seem to remember Branden warning about making changes between those lines . . . .
Yes, it will nuke your changes next time debconf has a go at it. I think it's safe to add another section outside the lines (which is probably what you meant in the first place /me slaps self), but it's been a long time since I let debconf play with my XF86Config-4.
So, I'm thinking tht deb(x)conf is kinda like a shoulder to lean-on. A guide that one may forgo after a while?
I could easily skip the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86--heck, I have 3 copies of XF86Config-4 laying-around that I use mostly as reminders,
Maybe this is what debconf is about--a shoulder to lean-on until one learns the route from home > store > home.
