I will be pleased if my suggestion is worth to start a discussion of it.
Great suggestion! Couldn't have said it better myself! Not even close!
One thing I would like to add is that when Debian has a major upgrade, it
should ALWAYS keep your config files. I know that it asks whether you want
to install the new maintainer version or keep your old, but this is always
a headache. I think the best answer is to merge the new features/options
with the current existing user's version. Because whenever I choose to go
with the new, I might get new options but all my customizations are gone
and I have to go find the old config and figure it all out from scratch.
If I just keep the old, then I loose all the new options and this
sometimes breaks things too. It's probably the #1 user problem when
upgrading.
