Re: [RFR] templates://jspwiki/{jspwiki.templates}
Just so you know, I (the package maintainer) try to only address
questions you have concerning the functionality. I'm not a native
English speaker (as you can easily tell from the templates), so I'll
let you handle the wordings :)

Yes it should. Thanks for catching this.

Yeah, this is pretty irrelevant for new installations. I'm not sure,
however, if this can be entirely dropped, as old configurations need
to retain their value. If it can, I'll drop it entirely.

I think this option should be just dropped. It really isn't something
that the user or the administrator should care of. Theoretically you
could write your own AttachmentProvider and use it, but then you
probably aren't using debconf to manage the config file.

This is due to the fact that getting JSPWiki to run under Jetty isn't
trivial (but entirely possible, at work we use JSPWiki exclusively
under Jetty), so I've never gotten around to it. In a perfect world
JSPWiki would depend on either Tomcat or Jetty (or any other servlet
container available in Debian).

This sounds good to me.
