Agreed.

I modify my proposal so that it reads as follows:

   The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the configuration
   file a conffile. This is appropriate only if it is possible to distribute a
   default version that will work for most installations, although some
   system administrators may choose to modify it. This implies that the
   default version will be part of the package distribution, and must not
   be modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any
   other time).

Looking for seconds.
