Bug#328784: Give warnings during preconfigure, not during install



Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.12-6
Severity: wishlist

When installing/upgrading a lot of packages, it is extremely annoying if the
installation waits for a key.  Just after downloading, at preconfigure, this
is normal, as other questions are asked at that time as well.  However, the
linux package warns at postinst about replacing a kernel of the same version
(and perhaps other things, I didn't check).  I would prefer if this was moved
to the preconfigure stage.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.12
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)

Versions of packages linux-image-2.6-686 depends on:
ii  linux-image-2.6.12-1-686      2.6.12-6   Linux kernel 2.6.12 image on PPro/

linux-image-2.6-686 recommends no packages.
