Maybe what we need are people who read package descriptions prior to
install:
Package: xserver-xfree86
[...]
Suggests: discover, mdetect, read-edid
[...]
If the discover, mdetect and read-edid packages are installed, the debconf
scripts in this package will use them to attempt automatic configuration
of the X server based on your information returned by your video card,
mouse, and monitor.
