DKG for example, did a presentation, if I remember well, in Germany,
where he explained that he belives 7 days is the best practice. I have
to admit there's no established norm in Debian, but I do agree with what
DKG says about this.

Also, I don't see why changing a configuration value wouldn't be
accepted by the release team, especially considering that a busy server
with haproxy could fill its HDD very fast. If you think it's too much
trouble to engage with the release team, I would understand though...
