In general, it has long been considered a bad idea to make destructive actions the default. I'm considering filing a similar bug in the GUI upgrade-to-beta-feisty program that update-manager downloads and runs, since it makes "Replace" the default action for modified configs.

The usual addition of a "--yes" option or somesuch would be usual.

Of course, this probably isn't really a decision we should make, independently of Debian...
