Indeed xserver-xorg is a package which does it horribly wrong. It
clobbers the users' configuration instead of reading the users'
modifications from xorg.conf first. There are several precautions in the
maintainer scripts to ensure that they are not accidentally overwritten
on a package upgrade.
The bug (in different wording) is using debconf settings in dhcp3-server is
useless. The workaround (in different wording) is don't use debconf.
So the workaround above as sent by Valentijn Sessink (that's me :) is no more
than another way to state the bug.

dhcp3-server misuses debconf
I'm afraid I fail to see the problem here. I am perfectly able to
change /etc/default/dhcp3-server with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure
dhcp3-server'. The .config script looks sane as well, it reads the
current setting from /etc/default/dhcp3-server, then asks the user about
changing it, then writes it
So there are two valid approaches:
(1) Just set the value directly in the config file
(2) Delete the config file and use debconf, if you prefer this.

Possible workaround sent by Valentijn:
Workaround found: put the option you want straight into the dhcp3-server
config file. Later on, it might be reflected in debconf automatically
