I indeed had a brief talk with Javier FS at the Extremadura meeting
and he had an argument *for* the debconf note: it is optionnally
mailed to the local sysadmin and being a debconf note, it can be
localized.
This is indeed the only argument I see popping for not removing such
notes. But, indeed, this is more a workaround for someone to work on
i18n'ed {NEWS|README}.Debian files than an argument to keep debconf
notes.
