Talked with timo about this:

<tjaalton> and that's simple to fix in livecd-rootfs (create a new file after 
it removes the existing one)
 then the situation would be the same as after preinst
 =empty file, and a md5sum that matches it
<tjaalton> the session runs reconfigure already, but currently that fails
 so we don't need to touch anything in addition to livecd-rootfs
 I'm not sure what actually broke this in hardy, but it's a lot more 
complicated to fix in xserver-xorg
 l-r removes the file because it needs to have a clean start (=dpkg-reconfigure 
xserver-xorg), but that fails because the postinst notices that there is no 
xorg.conf, and thinks that's how the user wants
<bryce> so, is the right fix to make livecd-rootfs not remove that file to 
begin with, or to add a control for the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg call to 
make it generate the xorg.conf even if it's missing, or...?
<tjaalton> I'm thinking that let it remove the file, then touch a new one 
(=md5sum matches since it's empty as the one created on preinst) :)
 and do that in livecd-rootfs
<bryce> will that fix the issue though?
<tjaalton> it should
 since that's pretty much how the preinst would have done
 although I'm not sure if the md5sum should be recreated also
 probably
 look at livecd.sh from livecd-rootfs
 it does all sort of cleaning on the chroot
