On the other hand, though, it likely makes the debconf configuration stuff significantly easier to implement. For my first exim4 config, I used the debconf-generated /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, copied it to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf, and they blew away /etc/exim4/conf.d (or whatever) with extreme prejudice. So perhaps a necessary (or at least warranted) evil? :)
