A debconf note might be a better alternative than the proposed
postinst output and I certainly thought also about this before
proposing the other alternatives but stepped back from doing this
because it is also mixing up a technical information with something
else (even if way better than misusing postinst).

This actually will not work. The X<something> fields do not make their
way to any place where we can fetch them. Bat as I said: We might
maintain this information right into the tasks file. Currently there
is the Remark field as you can see for instance at
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#act
(below normal description). This is very easily doable - just tell
me which text should show up there.
Kind regards
Andreas.
