Bug#347343: witalian: Unnecessarily uses the critical priority for debconf prompting
Package: witalian
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
>From debconf(7):
low Very trivial questions that have defaults that will work in
the vast majority of cases.
medium Normal questions that have reasonable defaults.
high Questions that don't have a reasonable default.
critical Questions that you really, really need to see (or else).
The witalian package currently prompts user at critical priority about the
wordlist to use. This means that, as the package is part of the "italian"
task, the question will appear with every single installation of Debian base
system done in italian, whichever debconf priority is used.
For instance, this currently breaks "babelbox", my demo system running D-I
in all available languages. I'm forced to remove Italian from the list of
demo languages which of course makes me sad..:-)
Given that the question has a safe default, I think the correct priority
should be "medium".
