The top of XF86Config-4 says:

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands as root:
#
#   cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom
#   md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
#   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

The file /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum is used to see whether the
file matches its state the last time it was dpkg-reconfigure-ed ...
