I think this would be workaround, and not the real fix. passwords should
not be stored in debconf anyway. I don't know ucf internals, but why
not to delete this data from debconf somewhere after user made
decision? It whould be the best idea?


(But may be config.dat should also be 0600, to prevent bad guys, who
could permanently monitor it for private data with icron or any other
method.)
