And so it proved again. They replied to my email with a list of 3 files that they had touched on the restore CD, and where they belonged. Replacing those almost solved my problem. Replacing those and telling Debian not to try to maintain XF86Config-4 for me did the rest. Replacing these is, of course, a hack to hold me until XFree86 has official support.
