I think this would only be of interest for files shipped in a package,
so that they can be shipped on several machines. Therefore, there needs
to be debhelper integration as well for such settings.

If you only want to set mandatory settings for one machine, you can
simply use gconftool or gconf-editor as root, so there’s no need to
write the XML by hand.
