Sort of.
The Debian package is using the individual access control directives,
that are described in the very next FAQ entry:
I don't understand the new access control stuff - what does it mean?
The "rocommunity" and similar settings are just a wrapper round these
(as it says in the first access control FAQ entry)

OK - so why not try using this other setting. Comment out the
"com2sec paranoid" line, and uncomment the "com2sec readonly" line.
That will then pick up:
> group MyROGroup v1 readonly
> group MyROGroup v2c readonly
> access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
rather than:
> group MyROSystem v1 paranoid
> group MyROSystem v2c paranoid
> access MyROSystem "" any noauth exact system none none
as required.

No - I wouldn't advise mixing the two styles.
Use one or the other, not both.

Yup - switching to use
com2sec readonly default public
should do that.
