I think that note is needed and it is low priority in debconf to
avoid users to see it when they set the debconf priority above low,
so it respects what the policy says by "try to minimize the amount
of prompting they need to do".

Basically, you want me to remove the debconf templates of hybserv,
don't you? Please note that /usr/share/doc/hybserv/README.Debian
already contains the connect block example. I disagree and I might
increase the priority of the debconf prompting if it disturbs you
that much, but it would therefore contradicts the section 3.9.1 you
cited above.
