debconf questions

[Andreas Tscharner <andy@vis.ethz.ch>]

Dear Mentors,

I have two questions concerning debconf:

1) I have created a <packagename>.config and a <packagename>.templates 
file according to the debconf user's guide by Joey Hess. If I execute 
the .config file, the expected screen (it's a note) is shown, everything 
is OK. I have also inserted dh_installdebconf in the rules file.
Now I hoped the Debian Magic would do all the tricks to show my screen 
while installing, but nothing happened.
So, do I need to call the .config file "by hand"? And if yes: where? In 
the postinst? Or somewhere else?

2) lintian complains about not having sourced the debconf library in 
postinst. I have (following the user's guide) done this in the .config 
file, before calling the actual debconf functions.
Which one is considered better?

TIA and best regards
	Andreas
