    Yes:

    # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)
    #
    [..]
    # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xfree86 package upgrades
    # *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the
    # xserver-xfree86 package.
    #
    # 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
