Bug#486081: ssl-cert: Debconf abuse: is there *really* a need to stop installation to tell users about certificate replacement?



Package: ssl-cert
Version: 1.0.20
Severity: normal

Critical level debconf notes should be kept for things that users *must
absolutely see*.

The text of the note you added in the last release of the package says
that....the note can be ignored if one does not know what it is about.

It means that the package will handle the certificate rempalcement gently.
So I really see no reason to interrupt all upgrades (including etch->lenny
upgrades?) for this.

Such text could even be seen as belonging to NEWS.Debian and not a debconf
note.
