For what it's worth, lcdproc package [1] uses cme (aka Config::Model) to merge configuration file and upstream changes. On the other hand, debconf is not involved because lcdproc does not need to store a debconf value. cme can be adapted to use a debconf value as some kind of default values (probably a "preset" value in Config::Model terminology) This may provide a way to solve your problem while minimizing the amount of duplicated code between packages.
