I would be all for doing it the other way around: First address the remaining usability and completeness issues in ucf and then happily deprecate dpkg conffile handling in favor of having ucf as the default for conffile handling. It's just _WAY_ superior, more flexible and less ugly. Having the possibility to remove conffile handling fromd dpkg proper in, let's say five releases (a decate of wall-calendar time) would also reduce the maintenance burden on the dpkg maintainers.
