Assuming the local settings have actually been configured.
If they're identical to the previous debconf settings and have not
been modified by the local administrator, I see no reason why you
could not change settings via debconf. In fact, I'd suggest that such
functionality is optimal, because it is what allows you to reconfigure
packages using debconf.
In other words, we should try to allow the largest functionality
possible with debconf whilst satisfying the requirements of 10.7.3.
