Bug#277990: xdebconfigurator: Should not depend on xserver-xfree86
Package: xdebconfigurator
Version: 1.09
Severity: important
In version 1.09 of xdebconfigurator, the following changes was done:
* Morten Werner Olsen
[...]
- Added dependency to xserver-xfree86 which includes the debconf
templates xdebconfigurator uses.
This change make it impossible to use xdebconfigurator to preseed the
debconf values used by xserver-xfree86, as xserver-xfree86 will be
installed before xdebconfigurator. This also make it impossible to
install xdebconfigurator to find out which X server package to install
(well, it is still possible, but as one server is already installed,
it is not very optimal for this :).
I suggest removing the dependency, and changing xdebconfigurator to
create the needed templates using the technique used in
debconf-set-selections to preseed debconf values.
