Re: Bug#496130: base-installer: apt-install'ed packages do not have their debconf questions translated



Quoting Jérémy Bobbio (lunar@debian.org):

mdadm can't be in any of the sublevels, which are "reserved" for D-I
packages.

So it is in levels 2 to 5, as defined in
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n

Level 2 being packages that have strings that are displayed in any
kind of installs:
- iso-codes (used in localechooser)
- popcon (question always asked)
- console-data (keymap names)
- tasksel

Level 3 are packages that ask questions in default "desktop" installs
at debconf priority high:
- worg
- exim4
- menu (this is an abuse-->it doesn't ask questions but its strings
are judged "important"....which is indeed less and less true

Level 4 are packages that ask questions during other kind of installs
at debconf priority high:
- samba

So, with these definitions, mdadm qualifies for level 4.
