I checked /var/lib/automysqlbackup but maybe I was just not seeing what I

Anyway, it's still a bit confusing because it looks so explicitly disabled
in the default file. Wouldn't it make more sense to remove it from MDBNAMES
and remove the grep in defaults?

Of course the defaults file is editable but the description said "just install
me, no further configuration needed" :)

Make it a wishlist bug because the defaults file is misleading :)

Sounds good. Once it's stable enough you could ask the mysql-server maintainers
to add a "Recommends:" to it (if it does not already have)
