I reinstalled Debian on my laptop the other day and got bitten by this
bug. I could not figure out why xdpyinfo reported the wrong dpi until I
saw the -dpi switch in a process listing. I then found out that gdm

Yes, of course. The bug report was meant to make it easier to install
and need to edit one less conf file.
find the reasoning in #285029 strange. In summary it
