That is an overall issue with the deco code vs. the rest of Subsurface.

We operate in mm, mbar and percent and all in int. deco.c does most
everything in doubles and uses bar, fractions of 1). I decided not to
change the code in deco.c to try to do integer math and instead convert
at the 'API' level. And I think Robert seemed to agree that this was the
right way to do this.

The over definition is just part of this - the config values are defined
as fractions and at first weren't configurable. When I then added the UI
support I did the 'normal' thing and expressed them as percentage. Of
course the default should have been set only once. My mistake.

Ouch. Even worse.

Thanks for catching this.
