Common sense makes the resolution of this purported ambiguity pretty
clear. If you lack common sense, then working on Debian is probably
not for you. If the spec were not part of the requirement, why bother
mentioning it?
and "by hand" is vague.
Hmm, on the one hand, I want to agree with you, but on the other hand,
this excessive nitpicking is starting to drive me up the wall.
Consider it an intelligence test. If you can't figure it out, then a)
stick with debconf or b) go find something less challenging to do in
your spare time. :)
