Well, for once I'll advocate to keep the note. I'm generally not in favor of debconf notes, for the reasons pointed by Justin. However, here, the wording seem to suggest you're first testing whether displaying the warning is relevant. *then only* you display the note. This is not necessarily Evil, indeed. What is Evil and kills kittens are note that basically say "This package should be configured. Please read README.Debian".
