Debian is not the only distribution that will ever encounter this
problem. Rather than hacking around it downstream, why not fix it the
right way upstream? /etc/default almost always represents a
Debian-specific hack.
Why a requirement to not improve upstream? Ideally, the Debian patches
for a piece of software should trend to zero over time, as fixes make
their way upstream.
(Though, as noted above, "and migrate the settings". :) )

Fair enough. Still seems likely to help it work without configuration
for common use cases, though.
