Hi, I would really like to see that happening at the beginning of the lenny release cycle. Packages that prompt without using debconf make it unnecessary difficult to test them using piuparts. Looking at my piuparts results (testing packages in etch), most packages that prompt the user already do that through debconf, so it would not result in more than 50 or 100 bugs (and that's the worst case scenario). -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
