Bug#368683: linux-source-2.6.16: menuconfig should say what the raw default is

[gambarimasu+reportbug@gmail.com]

Package: linux-source-2.6.16
Version: 2.6.16-13
Severity: normal


menuconfig provides defaults, and it also sometimes gives hints like
"if you're all like 'WTF?' then you can safely say Y here".

that's nice, but was that default there because of my old .config?  or
is it a real default?

menuconfig should say:

	o the default if you leave it alone
	o the raw default (as if you had no previous .config)

these are different things.

i leave severity at normal because i think this much usability affects
a lot of users who struggle with menuconfig.  please feel free to
change it.

i report here instead of kernel.org because i think reportbug should
allow that, and many maintainers do forward upstream.

thanks for maintaining the debian kernels.
