Debconf is the standard interface for configuring packages.
It should be what we document, as it is what is going to be
in action for Debian users.

There is no "standing issue", just the opinion of Matthew. Trying
to transform his opinion as an established fact doesn't work,
I'm sorry.

The standing issue that I recall that raises the maintenance burden is 
the use of debconf rather than/in addition to manual config file edits 
as per the other distros. I can't remember whether you already tried a 
version without debconf or not though.
