I am sure that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" has something to do with read-edid simply because that's the error I got back when I invoked it! :-) I am not a ubuntu linux hacker, but I did do enough digging back at the time to assure myself that read-edid being missing was in fact the problem that stopped reconfiguration from taking place.

If read-edid is in universe and the xserver is supposed to be (re)configurable without packages that are in universe, then read-edid may need reclassification (or alternately, the reconfiguration process may need changing to avoid the dependency).
