So this doesn't affect normal installs?

In Ubuntu-land -config is in universe (ie an extra optional thing to
install) and tuxpaint proper is in main (because it is installed by
default in Edubuntu). This means that the vast majority of users won't
touch or install -config.

If normal user installing Edubuntu from the CD isn't affected then I
don't think I care that much. I've emailed the Ubuntu-devel-discuss
mailing list to ask them what they think.
