Tormod, ceg, I thought one step at a time is always much easier to accept, that's why I chose to migrate old settings first. I feared otherwise people would end up arguing what defaults are better/worse and this would get nowhere. Now there are just two steps, indeed. Figuring out best default values (maybe previous values were indeed better? who knows?), then dumping need for ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true altogether: laptop-mode-tools can behave on its own, thank you. :) That's what I see in Debian sid right now, if my eyes are not deceiving me. If there are any concerns about system freezes or any issues like that, you could try setting ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BATTERY=0 by default. This way laptop_mode won't set /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode to possibly troubling values, but would still do a lot of useful things (i.e. all those NOLM settings).
