okay, this works for now, anyway.  looking back through my notes i don't
think i ever fully implemented the "default for unset" values in a
usable way.  i still think that having such a feature is the way
to go and will probably do something to this extent at some point.

keep in mind that i don't make any guarantees on a stable namespace
for debconf questions, and i have in the past moved them around a bit.
i will promise, however, that i will provide a solution for your problem
before doing so again :)

also, in the not-too-distant-future i'll be adding multi-instance support
to dbconfig-common, and this will probably not work with that, as each
instance will have its subtree of the same templates.  you're likely
to have a real solution for your problem long before this is done though :)
