Well, first I'll need to work out what text you're talking about, a
task complicated by my complete ignorance of git... is this it?
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-mono/packages/xsp.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/mono-apache-server2.templates;hb=f25e3c375f69acea59a0eeb5852014778a26fb54
Template: monoserver2/monoserver2_restartapache
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Let mono-apache-server2 restart Apache?
The Debian version of mono-apache-server2 includes a
mono-server2-update script that creates a configuration file for
apache to start the ASP.NET applications, and mono-server2-update can
restart apache if there's a new configuration file
(/etc/mono-server2/mono-server2-hosts.conf). If this is true, then
apache will be restarted when there is a new mono-server2-hosts.conf
file.
Template: monoserver2/monoserver1_upgrade_warning
Type: note
_Description: ASP.NET 1.0 support removed
You appear to have some ASP.NET 1.0 sites configured in /etc/mono-server1.
Support for the 1.0 profile has been removed from Mono 2.8 and above, and
you are no longer able to serve ASP.NET 1.0 sites. You must reconfigure
XSP to serve these sites using either 2.0 or 4.0 profiles, assuming your
application is compatible. Please see mono-server2-admin(8) or
mono-server4-admin(8) to see how to regenerate a configuration for use
with 2.0 or 4.0 profiles.
The upgrade_warning one makes sense (I could faff about getting it to
match the d-l-e house style, but never mind that); the restartapache
one I find largely opaque. If I answer yes, then my web server will
be automatically restarted when... something or other. Whenever
there's a new config file, perhaps? But is mono-server2-update a
script that can be run from the web user interface, or is it called
from a Debian package's postinst, or what?
Ah, found it. There's a comment at the top of the script:
# With this script the user can update the host files
# that are installed in /etc/mono-server2/conf.d/package and create a
# 'big' host file (/etc/mono-server2/mono-server2*-hosts.conf) that will be used
# by mono-server2 to setup the virtual hosts needed by
# the user.
So it's something I'd be calling on the commandline? And then... then
I lose track. Sorry, I'm going to need some help here.

It has got something to do with the debconf db_subst function defined
in /usr/share/debconf/confmodule; there's a debconf-devel(7) in
debconf-doc.
