$man Xwrapper.config

Available options are:
allowed_users

Debconf is doing is job, setting /etc/Xwrapper.config correctly :

The cause of that user's problem was never determined. Instead, the thread
went off on a tangent about the proper X configuration for a kiosk.

I think you're probably confusing a hyphenation dash with a literal one
here. I see no dash there when I view the manpage.
Moreover, no dash is present in the groff source:
=2EPP
Available options are:
=2ETP
=2EB allowed_users
may be set to one of the following values:
=2EBR rootonly ,
=2EBR console ,
or
=2EBR anybody .

I don't know where that dash came from. My maintainer scripts certainly
didn't put it there:
819 ALLOWED_USERS=3D
820 if db_get xserver-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users; then
821 ALLOWED_USERS=3D"$RET"
822 fi
823 NICE_VALUE=3D
824 if db_get xserver-common/xwrapper/nice_value; then
825 NICE_VALUE=3D"$RET"
826 fi
827 if [ -n "$ALLOWED_USERS" ] && [ -n "$NICE_VALUE" ]; then
828 NEW_XWRAPPER_CONFIG=3D$(tempfile)
829 cat >>"$NEW_XWRAPPER_CONFIG" << EOF

It does.

This report is utterly spurious, and appeares to be a wholly erroneous
interpretation of a great many things.
Please ask for help on debian-user.
