Re: Should debian policy require to use debconf for postinst scripts?

So could the debian policy regarding package postinst script ask either
to use debconf for automatic install or at least provide a mean to user
to answer question asked by postinst script to be entered via scripts or
files but no typing required.

Thanks for any comment and sorry if that has already been discussed.



I will support a proposal that every interaction with the user a package
makes with the user during installation must be done using debconf. But
this is a post-woody thing.
Sure. I already reduced quite a lot needed keyboard inputs using debconf in non-interactive mode. 


Thanks for responding. Have a nice day,
