So? Then breaking a system is fairly easy nowadays. Run
umount -a; mount-a
(expecting that the second will restore the state) and you have lost.
I would like to see a policy on this issue. If there is none, you should
warn the user that hotplug is non-functional and tell him/her WHY.

PS: and please don't tell me: "maintainer is always right", "root must
know what the options exactly mean". Even as admin I expect a
smoothly working system without such traps.

So, your "solution" is to ask "Should I break your system now or after
the next reboot?". Debconf is not an alternative to fixing the
problem. Such questions are still unacceptable bugs.
