Debconf is already in standard. Three packages of > standard priority
use debconf (console-tools, console-data, setserial). All are priority
required.
All three of them are set up so they will work without debconf, and only
suggest or recommend it.
We could continue this trend, though I suspect writing a package to work
that way is rather annoying.
