Ok. Seen that.
In your proposal I added one word ("iTALC master" -> iTALC master application").I don't see why that's needed - if it's a daemon, why call it an application? And why talk about the software at all when the connection comes from a machine that we can call the "iTALC master"?
iTALC master (/usr/bin/ima) is actually QtGUI tool that is used by the "teacher" to monitor all controlled desktop sessions on the student workstations. So, the iTALC master is not a machine here, neither a daemon, but a QtGUI application.
And I feel that I need to add that last sentence (it's on the last DebConf screen). If users are not in that iTALC student group, iTALC won't work. Is that last sentence ok from your perspective? The information about that necessary group membership has been given on a previous DebConf screen (quoted below).There is a slight grammatical error: "users that are member" should be "users that are members".
ok. Thanks.
I could probably cram that information into the previous paragraph: It can be configured to start automatically on desktop session startup (for users that are members of the iTALC student group), but for security reasons this is not the default. This might be getting too compressed, though.
So, I won't take it(?).

About the error message DebConf screen, see my reply to Christian's earlier mail.Yes, that looks good.
