Thanks for your patch! Just to avoid it getting lost in the buzz
I've applied it to the pkg-gnome gconf svn repo. I'm tagging the
bug pending even though I have no real intention of uploading
a new package revision any time soon myself, but this should now
be included once someone eventually does another upload (if ever).

Could you please share what your interest in gconf/update-gconf-defaults is?

I'm sure you're aware that gconf is long dead. I'm probably not alone
in thinking it should be removed from the debian archive ASAP although
there are still quite a long list of reverse dependencies and atleast
a few of those are not completely in the "dead cruft" camp so probably
will not be happening very soon....
Any program should really use gsettings instead these days.
