If you have console access, it's a different thing. I agree that,
perhaps, a mid or low priority debconf option to change it to auto-save
every change would be reasonable, as long as it is not a default.
I don't think you will find a consensus on what the "correct" behavior
should be.
I, for one, see this as reasonable. Debian is a general purpose OS.
It's impossible predict the actual usage and environment in which it
will be used.
Consider the following defaults:
Squid defaults to a restrictive mode by default (no access)
DHCPD will start automatically upon installation
CUPS web access is restricted to localhost
Exim is the default MTA
DHCP client will not send the hostname
While I find those annoying, I would not consider them bugs.
