Well, using "1/0" is confusing, then. Why not propose "enable/disable"
as choices. 

Anyway, whether or not my suggestion is followed, the debconf

Also, the long description is hard-formatted because of the use of
leading double-spaces...which is not what should be done.

I can propose rewritten templates if you wish.
