For more detail, what actually happens is that the config file is
regenerated on upgrade from the original debconf questions. However,
this a. discards any local changes not made through debconf (should we
allow these? if not the warning in the conf file should be bigger!) and
b. several of the questions are not asked by debconf because of their
priority. It's not immediately obvious how these should be configured
since dpkg-reconfigure still doesn't ask them due to their debconf
priority (in particular splash).

It's not clear that the automatic generation should happen more than
once; I think it should happen only if the config file doesn't exist.
