Where did the maintainer agree to this? The only reply I see in the bug log
of #316834 is a *disagreement* with you.
You also acknowledged that the second template (arguably the more important
one) belongs in NEWS.Debian, but your patch drops that template completely.
Granted, that note was never being /displayed/, but I don't think it's
correct to remove the text from the package completely when it could be left
in place for reference or (better) put in a NEWS.Debian.
Anyway, I completely agree with you that these debconf notes are abuse of
debconf, but I still think this is out of scope for a freeze exception
without the maintainer's consent.
