[PLUG] X and debconf


Upgrading X (debian woody), I was asked if I wanted debconf to manage
X config.  Sure, I said, quickly backing up my old config, even though
debconf assured me it would, too.

Now the debconf version is substantially different, even down to
options like 3-button config and monitor specs.  This wasn't very nice
of debconf.  I might have hoped it would read my old file for values.

I don't want to get into a whole mess of X config stuff, but I also
know that if I now change the X config file, debconf won't know this.

Anyone know how do I just tell debconf what the right params are for
my X setup?
