Package: base
Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-04
Severity: important
if one opens a config file modified by debconf,
he can see the statement that this section of the file
is managed by Debconf. But there isn't any hint, which
script/program to call to modify the values.
in my opinion there should allso be a hint
'# call /var/lib/dpkg/blablabla to modify it.'
for every possible config-script.
otherwise people will start setting differing options
overriding the debconf values after being set.
