Debian has it in /etc/X11/XF86Config. They have patched XFree86 for this. See

ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/stable/source/x11/xfree86_3.2-1.diff.gz

The idea is to have all X-related configuration files in one directory. I
dont know why they didnt use a symbolic link as they did for certain
other files (such as /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config).
