A minor clarification. Forgot that you only install miscfiles, so nothing to worry about in your case, but I still think b) is better. In a more general case with some ispell dictionaries (or wordlists) to be installed, good dictionaries.common default selections after locales is done at preconfigure so, if apt-utils is not installed, there are no debconf choices to select from. In postinst, first configured becomes the default as when its postinst is processed it is the only available debconf choice. Unless debconf priority is low, further related postints do not change the already available default nor trigger a debconf question.
