Search for xserver-xorg.postinst under /var. I tried the suggested
fix and it works. The file is installed with the package. If you use
aptitude, install the package, and after several trials of the
installation, search for the postinst file. Edit it and then continue
until the package get "C" indication. Then you can dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg. So you don't need to wait until the bug is fixed...
The described procedure is the one I applied, and it worked pretty
good...
