I like this one better. So, people with app-defaults files should
be instructed to put something like this in their postinst (replace
$PROGRAM with the real name):

if [ ! -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono -a ! -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ]; then
  echo -n "Do you wish to use color, or monochrome app-defaults files? [C/m]"; read WHICH
  case $WHICH in
    [mM]*) touch /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono ;;
    *) touch /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ;;
  esac

if [ -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ]; then
  echo "$PROGRAM will use color app-defaults file."
  ln -sf $PROGRAM-color /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/$PROGRAM
elif [ -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono ]; then
  echo "$PROGRAM will use monochrome app-defaults file."
  ln -sf $PROGRAM-mono /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/$PROGRAM
fi

Although there may be something wrong with this script...
