What does "everyone should use" mean?
I ask because some NMU introduced a line like
if [ "$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" != "Noninteractive" ] \
into fdutil's postinst. Should this be changed then?
I guess the above line fixed a problem, so a simple
"$DEBIAN_FRONTEND" != "noninteractive" would break things
again. Maybe I should check for both versions?
