Bug#249119: netcfg: A way to mark templates as unused would be nice



Package: netcfg
Severity: wishlist

Sometimes I wish to remove a template from my master templates file
because it is no longer used or currently has no purpose. If I
reconsider and add it back, this is no problem if the template is not
translated at all. However, especially in the case of d-i, I do not
want to lose the myriad translations that have been made to a given
template, yet it is important to not have excess unused templates in
udebs where space is at a premium. Therefore a method of marking templates
as disabled or unused so that they are not included in the compiled
templates file would allow one to save translations instead of having to
delete them. This then saves space in the compiled deb.

The flip side is that this probably would allow for a lot of bitrot to
occur in source packages.
