Other people have addressed your remaining points, but I'd like to clarify one thing: App-defaults files do not have to be conffiles. They have to be configuration files, and may be conffiles. There's nothing inherently wrong with writing a set of debconf questions to control the contents of the app-defaults file for your package, for instance. In such a case, you definitely would not want to mark the app-defaults file as a conffile. Is policy not sufficiently clear about this? -- G.
