If debconf isn't good enough that everyone's not using it voluntarily (lilo has been converted *from* debconf), then the obvious thing to do is to improve debconf, not try to force everyone to make their packages worse. Joey has yet more significant debconf changes waiting in the wings for after woody's release iirc, too.
