Shouldn't be, the destination server name is specified in the XML data
sent to the server. Provide the server is configured to be responsible
for the destination the client is attempting to reach it shouldn't
matter how it gets there.

You can configure the server to not allow inband registration (client's
requesting and creating new accounts) and instead use some of the tools
at jabberstudio.org to create the accounts.

No, the configuration of the Jabber server does not yet use DebConf.
By default the server is set with a name of localhost which and is fully
functional this way. Your JID would be something@localhost and many
clients allow you to manually specify the IP or name of the server.
For now all configuration needs to be done manually in either
/etc/jabber/jabber.xml or /etc/jabber/jabber.cfg depending on what you
wish to change. All settings can be changed in /etc/jabber/jabber.xml,
the /etc/jabber/jabber.cfg is simply for convience of setting the host
and spool location without editing the xml directly.
