Hi, it seems we missed on legacy advice in the fix #206684: See http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintscripts and there the last but one paragraph of 3.9.1, which #206684 does not suggest to change: --quote----- If a package has a vitally important piece of information to pass to the user (such as "don't run me as I am, you must edit the following configuration files first or you risk your system emitting badly-formatted messages"), it should display this in the config or postinst script and prompt the user to hit return to acknowledge the message. Copyright messages do not count as vitally important (they belong in /usr/share/doc/package/copyright); neither do instructions on how to use a program (these should be in on-line documentation, where all the users can see them). --quoteend---- I suggest to s/it should display this in the config or postinst script and prompt the user to hit return to acknowledge the message./it inform the user and ask for confirmation of this via the use debconf./ regards, Holger
