I'm afraid I fail to  see the problem here. I am perfectly able to
change /etc/default/dhcp3-server with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure
dhcp3-server'. The .config script looks sane as well, it reads the
current setting from /etc/default/dhcp3-server, then asks the user about
changing it, then writes it back in the postinst.

Maybe the misunderstanding here is that the reporter expects debconf
settings to dominate configuration files. This is wrong, configuration
files are holy and they must never be changed noninteractively by
package scripts. Can you please confirm that I understood this report
correctly? If not, please elaborate about the problem.
