Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.10
Severity: normal
The dpkg-reconfigure script needs to write a new xorg.conf if the file has
been customized. A user in #debian reported that this failed on his system,
and it made it difficult for him to automagically adapt to the new paths
for modular. This will provide a manual easy way out of this dilemma,
easing future support.

We don't create an X config file anymore, as X works well enough without
one. Closing this bug as obsolete.
