I think what you should maybe do is put your conffile in
/etc/defaults/faqomatic.

Then, the cronjob (installed unconditionally) will have to check if [[
RUN_CRON != 0 ]].  Alternately, instead of using conffiles, you can
approach it using debconf.  The admin will be prompted "Run Cronjob"?
And if they answer "no", you get rid of the cronjob entry, and if they
answer "yes", you make sure it exists.
