Definitely not postinst: that should be without interruption. The install process of Debian asks questions directly after downloading them. After the questions have been answered, the install should work without interruption. Except for conffile problems, which still annoy me. ;-) > I'm still confused about debconf's 'note', mainly because > debconf-devel(7) clearly says that debconf will do everything to display > that message to the user, but I'm not able to obtain this behaviour. Not "everything". It said it would go through great pains. However, if a user set the frontend to "noninteractive", then nothing is going to wait for a key press (and if something is, then that's a very serious bug, as it makes unattended installs impossible). In such a case, the user probably knows what they're doing, and you shouldn't force your message on them. I have no idea when the mentioned e-mailing would take place. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org). If you have problems reading my e-mail, use a better reader. Please send the central message of e-mails as plain text in the message body, not as HTML and definitely not as MS Word. Please do not use the MS Word format for attachments either.
