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.

You will probably also have to perform the following:

  sudo vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst
  # Comment out the following line as well as matching else and endif.
  #   if [ -z $UPGRADE ] || dpkg --compare-versions $2 le 1:7.0.14; then

Bug#363965: xserver-xorg: Can't force update of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

2006-04-20 Thread Mike Hommey 
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: normal

/etc/X11/xorg.conf states:
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades
# *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically
# updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

So, okay...
namakemono:/home/mh# dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/xorg.conf; file has
   been customized
namakemono:/home/mh#

Either the postinst or the comment has to be fixed according to the
other.
