X-Spam-Level:
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: wishlist
When upgrading from an older version libc6 asks the "Restarting services"
question. It would be nice if this would be asked via debconf to make
automated upgrades easier.
TIA

Sorry, We cannot make libc6 depend on debconf. That would make debconf
more essential than libc6. You can see the circular dep problem.
