The code in question (mode-list priority gets dropped to medium if we're
not reconfiguring, which solves the problem of it getting asked on every
upgrade if DDC fails or such), was done in -4, which was missed until
the -5 upload.  -5.1 was -5, but with the Debconfiscation taken from -2,
and was done especially for A7.  As -6 reintroduced -5's Debconf code,
with some modifications, it resurfaced at that point; fresh installs
would have mode-list unconditionally dropped to medium, so if DDC failed
or we couldn't infer the panel resolution, you would always end up with
1024x768/800x600/640x480.  I've fixed this locally, and am testing the
fix now; -7 will be -6 with only this change (changing [ -z
"$RECONFIGURE" ] to [ -z "$RECONFIGURE" ] && [ -z "$FIRSTINST" ]).
