[Bug 1684489] [NEW] Unattended dist-upgrade deletes /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, i386, is installed on several POS terminals with a
touchscreen that needs a driver.  For the touchscreen to work, a custom
X11 configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is thus needed.

Unattended upgrades have been enabled in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic.

Suddenly the touchscreen does not work anymore, the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf had been moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dist-
upgrade-201703311243, rendering the touchscreen unusable after the next
reboot.
