Yes, true. So what works - in terms of reconfiguring - is:

             (set-xorg-configuration
              (xorg-configuration
               (extra-config '("
Section \"Monitor\"
    Identifier \"DSI-1\"
    Option \"Rotate\" \"right\"
EndSection"))))

However this doesn't rotate the GDM display - so either the snippet has 
no effect (I'll compare it with Ubuntu, what it has to get it working), 
or GDM doesn't pick up the extra-config (is that likely?), or maybe I 
should try via the special-file. I'll try that and see if it works...
