This is not the default configuration, just the default choice (it is
not written "Default configuration"). What is written in the dialog is
confusing. The "mail server configuration type that best meets [my]
needs" is clearly Internet Site. Instead of "best meets your needs",
it should say "before additional configuration" (or it could say
both). Also at this time, the user is not yet aware that the config
will be incomplete, and he could choose "Internet Site" thinking that
everything will be fine at the end of the debconf questions.
