My gut feeling is that the average Debian Med user does not know about
the docs we are providing.  At least all those users I had the chance to
ask have never read any README.Debian neither did they confirmed they
know about /usr/share/doc/packagename.

I agree that debconf information (or debian/NEWS) will be seen only once
by some admin and it is not sure whether the admin is a user at the same
time and will pass the information. 

While I'm aware that this is not a good situation I do not have any idea
how to enhance it.

Kind regards
