Just for the record, we (Ubuntu) ship either a minimal functional
configuration files or the upstream sample configuration files with
sufficient patching to be functional.

We made the choice to specifically not include debconf for
configuration file generation; in terms of where we wanted to focus
the resources we have working on packaging, debconf was not high on
the list of priorities as the majority of users are deploying across
multiple servers and are using some sort of configuration management
tool; maintaining debconf for OpenStack packages added overhead we did
not want to take on.

So we do care about configuration files... just not in the same way
you do for Debian!
