On Debian just create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with this content:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Intel Graphics"
    Driver    "intel"
    Option    "DRI"    "3"
EndSection

I guess that using modesetting ddx is just one of those things your're just supposed to magically know.
