Bug #198453 contains a long discussion about this, and although I
haven't read it thoroughly, the gist is apparently that it's generally a
good thing to do that override.

Still, people might have any number of reasons for wanting things their
own way. I guess a problem here is that the alsa config files doesn't
provide a way for letting local configuration properly override hook
based configuration.

In the meantime, until that is fixed, I suggest an option in
/etc/default/pulseaudio to disable the overrides of pcm.!default and
ctl.!default. That way it's at least possible to cope in a system level
without resorting to editing files outside /etc.

Alsa does not honor pcm.!default in ~/.asoundrc because of 
/usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf
