Okay I'll rework the patch to modify the value in-place in bbdb-site.el

The Debian emacs package infrastructure (called "emacsen-common") sets
up installed packages to load their autoloads through site-init, and
there isn't any per-user way to shut it off on a per-package basis.  And
if I were to set up something idiosyncratic to defeat that and let the
user choose when both bbdb 2.x and bbdb3 are installed, it would violate
people's expectations.

                                        Cheers,
