Debconf is Not a Registry (TM)
That doesn't sound like a reason; it sounds more like an axiom. Care
to explain why it's a reasonable axiom? (Offline, if you prefer.)
I don't know the design decisions that went into debconf, but what I
am suggesting looks consistent with the design document in
"/usr/share/doc/debconf/specification.txt.gz". In that document,
debconf looks very much like a database, and it seems strange that I
should need to replicate the contents of the database in another
database (if a flat file can be called that) before I use it.
