Not sure about this (on my system only root can read /var/lib/debconf),
however:

not sure how well temp files are managed.
I was told though, for the purpose of Heimdal-kdc, to put it in the
postinst directory. This means it doesn't have to get stored in the
database. ie the postinst script does a "db_get" followed by a
"db_set".
