Hello,
Afaict this easily fixable, either by patch.1 which requires
re-running automake or by patch.2 which simply hardcodes the path.

Bug#362492: xfs: Config file location has changed - postinstall and documentation fails to note this

[Mike Brodbelt]

Package: xfs
Version: 1:1.0.1-4
Severity: normal


With previous versions of xfs, the config file used by default was
/etc/X11/fs/config, however the newly packaged version now defaults to
using /usr/lib/X11/fs/config. The README.Debian file still refers to
/etc/X11/fs/config as the configuration file, and installing the current
package results in a situation where the pre-existing configuration
information in /etc/X11/fs/config is silently ignored, and replaced with
the new package's default configuration. It would be nice if the
postinst script offered to migrate settings from a pre-existing
/etc/X11/fs/config file into the new config location.
