I got debwrap source code from master.debian.org Incoming.
IMHO, this package doesn't conflict with debconf (if you set "text
mode" on debconf), because first install of many machines must use
debconf (and other machines will use also text-mode debconf).
Administrators (who maintain many machines) must create QA database
from first install result.QA database seems allow to use regular
expression.
It seems too hard to create this. Is there any tool for automatic
creation?
BTW, do we have any rule about interval time between ITP and upload?
I got source and package from master.debian.org today (I found rcconf
also). (changelog date is 1 Jan 2000, hmm...) Of course, we decide
"new package freeze is Jan 2nd", but I don't this upload way is not so
good.
