You probably want to change this: - leave data after purge? -> only ask during purge. - back up database before upgrade? -> only ask during upgrades. user should be notified where to find backups and possibly how to restore. and other ' only ask during install' All these questions should be made on configuration, but, obviously, only once (when the package is first installed or on upgrade if the debconf question was not previously there). Obviously, the _actions_, will be taken on purge|postinst|preinst, but the question itself is made in advance the first time the package is configured. You might want to clarify the table and change 'only ask' to 'only done' (or acted upon). Similarly, you want to change the pseucode in 'overview of installation/removal process' since all the INPUT should be done in configuration. For an example take a look at how the PostgreSQL does this (purge on removal and backup on upgrade) for _all_ databases managed by it. Regards Javier
