All modules are disabled by default for a *new* installation (see
NEWS). But, when you are upgrading, you have the choice to keep
your old registry.php as a conf file. Then I guess you choose to
overwrite your old registry.php.

webroot detection is useless with Debian for FHS reason IIRC.
Then, it's hardcoded in registry.php file. If you modify it, you
will have the choice to keep your changes (as a conf file).

Database upgrades are not automatically done, and you shoud
actually upgrade them by hand for now. I agree that upgrades
could be less boring: ideas/patches welcome :)
I keep this bug open in wishlist.

Outch. Could you open separate bug report for them? Or even
open bug reports directly in upstream BTS (bugs.horde.org)?
