Definitely the postinst. I was able to get dpkg-reconfigure to update xorg.conf (in 1:7.0.22) by removing xorg.conf and doing a couple of other things. You may have to also perform the following: sudo sh -c "readlink /etc/X11/X | md5sum > /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum" See #374578.

That's the difference. Non-interactive upgrades shouldn't ask questions in the first place if no new questions have been added. Otherwise, the questions should be asked; however, the big difference is that xserver-xorg should observe dpkg's --force-confdef (as well as --force-confold and --force-confnew) flags so that the new configuration file will be written--somewhere--so the user can compare it with the old one in order to accept the changes or not.

The standard thing to do is to observe dpkg's default behavior, which depending on how you have configured dpkg is to save the new configuration in xorg.conf.dpkg-new or the old one in xorg.conf.dpkg-old See #374583.
