Joey Hess pointed out that we only need to use debconf for the above if we need access to this information during pre-configuration. So, unless we have debconfage for FPEs in the font servers or X servers, which I feel we probably shouldn't, the above will be implemented by using /etc. (Likely similar to the way /etc/X11/fonts/*/fonts.alias files currently work.) -- G.
