I second the question. Is there a standard reply in deontology? The standard reply of a consequentialist, of course, is the utility function.
I'm pretty sure the standard reply is, "Sometimes there is no right answer." These are rules for classifying actions as moral or immoral, not rules that describe the behavior of an always moral actor. If every possible action (including inaction) is immoral, then your actions are immoral.
