I don't think that we should be assuming that case, or defaulting to it.
It's a reasonable assumption that most people installing something like puppet
are intending to use it, and that should be the case that works out of the box.
I don't think a debconf question is unreasonable, but I definitely
don't think that's
something we should be thinking about (or need) in the lenny timescale.
