/etc/apt/apt.conf.d allows packages to supply apt configuration data without messy editing of config files. It's a common pattern in Debian.

In general, administrators should (continue to) use /etc/apt/apt.conf to provide their own settings. You should only edit 70debconf if you need to change the settings which are provided by debconf.
