I found more not-talk time meant even _more_ socialising time than usual, which as you observe can be a bit of a drain for the introverted. As someone said to me earlier in the week. 'I've used up my whole socialising allowance for the year already. There's a reason why I work from home' :-) So debconf remians pretty intense, but I agree the somewhat-changed format has worked well.
