No. We. Should. Not.
If you want every package to use debconf, that's fine and wonderful. Go
make a list of the ones that don't, write patches so that they will, file
bugs so the maintainer knows about them, then have a friendly discussion
with the maintainers to make sure that they're satisfied with the patches.
