It's deprecated, and should be. Like manually editing your web configuraiton in a single httpd.conf file, it precludes modular updates of individual components and nails your configuration to a static, awkward to edit, potentially very fragile configuration file. I went through precisely this with a Debian client in the recent past who has not, so far as I could tell, bought into my setting up an /etc/X11/ xinit.d/ tool for them that flexibly and legibly configured dual monitors in a way that could be published to multiple servers without interfering with their other X settings. But that's life....
