Right. I got it.

The point is that whatever users are using MaaS on precise now from the
archive have already done some manual configuration, so the fact that the
current package requires manual configuration isn't a concern from an SRU
perspective.

It's my understanding from reading the bug, that if users that have already
manually configured things once and have a working system install the new
package, things will stop working until they do additional manual
configuration. It's the working to not working part that is an issue.

If I understand the situation correctly (please clarify if I don't), then
that's not normally acceptable for an SRU. Debconf is not a notification
system. I think you need to find a way for package install not to regress
without manual intervention or it's not SRU material.
