Well, then a user has to start it once manually. Subsequent starts will
happen automatically.

There is no per-user configuration done at package installation time. So
I don't see where you plan to use debconf. Or does BuildNotify use a
global configuration?
Just let BuildNotify add itself to the per-user autostart once a user
has configured it. No need for debconf or anything special in the packaging.
