I believe that you need the aclocal macros that come with xorg-server.
On my system, /usr/share/local/xorg-server.m4 defines:

# XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT()
# --------------------------
# Checks for the $1 define in xorg-server.h (from the sdk).  If it
# is defined, then add $1 to $REQUIRED_MODULES.

AC_DEFUN([XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT],[
...

I don't know how Debian packages X, but you'll also need the
xorg-server.pc file since this macro calls pkg-config on xorg-server.

Hope that helps.
