After discussions with Helmut at Debconf, it seems like all we can
reasonably do in Debian is to make it clear that the current situation
is explicitly supported by Debian, rather than spending effort with
metaconfig. As such, I propose we close this bug with something like the
attached documentation patch.

Cheers,
