Bug#223304: openoffice.org-bin: debconf question on initial screen should not be 'should openoffice.org be prelinked?'



Package: openoffice.org-bin
Version: 1.1.0-3
Severity: minor

When configuring openoffice.org-bin, the first screen contains
information about prelinking.  At the bottom, it asks "Should
OpenOffice.org be prelinked?" but th only option is "Ok." Then the next
screen asks, "Prelink OpenOffice.org binaries?"

Although the user eventually discovers that she will be able to answer
yes or no to this question, on the first screen it appears that the only
possible answer to the question is "Okay."

I would suggest either:

1) Remove the question from the first screen and just have "Ok" at the
bottom so that the first screen is purely informative.

or

2) Combine the first and second screens and just put "yes" and "no" at
the bottom of the first screen under the question "Should OpenOffice.org
be prelinked?"

I would prefer (2)--I don't believe there's any policy reason why the
question needs to be on a separate page. But either option would be
better.
