that's exactely my problem. I know debconf must be used as less as
possible, but if I can't autoconfigure the daemon and thus abort its
startup/execution, I have to tell something to the user and try to exit
the installation process cleanly (asking for some action to take and to
run `dpkg-reconfigure cpufreqd` later).

which priority could my warning be?
