Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The Developer's Reference should no longer discourage the use of "error"
debconf templates as these are supported since debconf 1.4.69 (pre-etch
version).

This template type should even be encouraged when needing some special user
attention.

Patch attached. Please check the wording.
