Bug#506898: Paragraph 6.3 (controlling terminal) is obsolete



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.0.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

currently, policy §6.3 says that a package can interact with the user in
its controlling terminal. However, this contradicts §3.9.1 which
requires doing it with debconf.

There must be only a handful of remaining packages that still need user
interaction, although I’m not even sure. I think it is more than time to
make debconf a "must" and to stop guaranteeing the availability of a
controlling terminal to packages.

Thanks,
