There is a standard solution for this.
Add to preinst something similar to
if [ -d /usr/share/FBReader/default/ ]; then
mkdir -p /etc/FBreader
mv /usr/share/FBReader/default/* /etc/FBreader
rmdir /usr/share/FBReader/default/
ln -s /etc/FBreader /usr/share/FBReader/default/
fi

Although you are probably correct, having system-wide default will not
hurt. And it has an advantage that it could be done at packaging level
now, without any code altering.
Btw, systems in question, where default settings are not good (phones, etc)
are commonly single user.
