These seem OK.
Why do you ask debconf questions about the index and cache directory?
What percentage of users would want to change it - 0.1%, 1%, 10%?
We have too many useless debconf questions, IMHO. Only the purge
question here is useful. Actually, it'd be better if was asked when
purging, not when installing - which could be months or years earlier.
