joey told me that i should not use debconf as a registry :-) instead

confusion. if someone wish to change the settings can use dpkg.

single bloated configuration files cause complete system ruination if they get damaged/destroyed making it simpler to just reinstall the entire OS instead of just fixing a broken .conf or two. *cough* windows *cough*
