Generally speaking and IMO: If it's possible to deliver a default config which 
works for, say, >80% of the users (maybe even with small tradeoffs, maybe 
even for 50% and not 80), I think it's sensible to ship one. Why make life 
hard if it can be easy? :)

Actually the default config the debian package ships is not the default config 
from olsrd, but a tweaked one, first based on the freifunk olsrd.conf and 
then further tweaked with elektras help at cccamp07, the mistakes are all 
mine though :) I've attached it so you can easily compare.

I also changed the location of it to /etc/olsrd/olsrd.conf, to comply with 
debians layout of /etc.
