The proposal is that the debconf choices should include /dev/null,
Matthew's notification bubble (perhaps I have mischaracterised it
- if so I apologize), local mail delivery, delivery via SMTP to
a specified catch-all address, or "I'll configure it myself".

Notification bubbles, local mail, outbound SMTP ... none would
be compulsory.  Let's provide useful choices to people so that
Ubuntu can "Just Work" out of the box as promised.
