I wholeheartedly agree. I sincerely wish I knew more about debconf, or I would work this in and upload a sample somewhere.It becomes a big risk when someone has set up a firewall, but a user can access them via SSH Port Forwarding. Most people don't know about this. Maybe at least print out an information when debconf occurs, warning the user of the Port Forwarding risks?
I still think allowing the user to choose between different security configurations would be good... you could set several other options like PermitRootLogin, etc...
