Please peruse /usr/doc/X11/debian.README, to understand why I say that, on Debian, app-defaults files are not considered configurable. If you disagree with this, as many seem to, please propose a solution whereby package maintainers can easily make sure that app-defaults files are updated to reflect any changes introduced in the upstream app-defaults file.
