To further what Marc said, I think that upstream made the correct decision in 
this case.  I consider double-click to be the setting desired and expected by 
the majority of users.  For the minority of users who prefer something 
different, it is easy for them to change it.

Perhaps we could have a different discussion if the default that upstream had 
selected was not in the best interest of the majority of users.  But in this 
case, I think upstream’s decision was correct and not modifying the upstream 
behavior in Debian is also correct.
