This absolutely should not be a high priority question. In my opinion, it
should not be a question at all; the postinst should have automatically
changed the mailto reference, and only prompted if something went wrong.

>From debconf(7):
    low    Very trivial questions that have defaults that will work in 
           the vast majority of cases.
    medium Normal questions that have reasonable defaults.
    high   Questions that don't have a reasonable default.
    critical
           Questions that you really, really need to see (or else).

In my opinion, this fits into 'low' if at all (who cares, anyways, and what
are the ramifications if it's not done?); high is most certainly priority
inflation.

My suggestion: remove the prompt.
