Bug#605924: firmware-ipw2x00: License accept/decline question can't be displayed entirely in graphical installer



Package: firmware-ipw2x00
Severity: important

This issue is a serious usability issue with the graphical installer
(I haven't checked, yet, if the issue also happens with the text
installer).

When the ipw2x00 deb file is found by D-I at initial steps of install,
it displays its accept/decline license question.

However, the license text make the Yes/No buttons disappear and users
can't see them to notice that the default is declining the license.

That may be a cdebconf issue but, at least having the default to
"true" would allow users to blindly type Enter and be able to continue
the installation process.

Having "Decline" as default then requires user to blindly hit left
arrow, then Enter. That's not really obvious..:-)
