That would look good to me.
As the original reporter of #1006492 and the author of the MR that
removed that dependency, I agree [1] that, at the moment, the best
course of action is to revert that change and re-instate cdebconf's
dependency on debconf.
That removal was part of a bigger plan [2] whose execution got stuck [3]
and will be resumed only post-freeze.
