One of the biggest pains of the debconf system.  I don't like having
intermediate formats for my configuration files.  It reminds me of
sendmail and M4.

Modern versions of X (xorg) can do their own autoconfiguration.  "X -
configure" while X is not running.  I think it defaults to this mode if
it cannot find a config file.

What happens if you just rename your config file before replacing the
card.
