Upload of kdepim - ripping out debconf
Hi!
Some days ago, I approached one of our mighty release managers for a "It
might be possible that we might accept this change" - and I at least got
a partial ack.
But before uploading and wasting bulidd resources on this, I would like
a ack to upload with these changes.
The debconf stuff used in kpilot (kde palm pilot program) is ancient and
should not be used. It configures devfs related to palm pilots and helps
palm pilot using programs with what device they should use.
Devfs is as far as I can see no longer used anywhere, at least in
debian, and kpilot has user interfaces to help with what devices to use.
We have recieved a couple of more debconf translations, but would prefer
to remove this debconf all together.
In the following, the output of interdiff -z | diffstat is shown - and a
the diff except the debian/po directory
Thanks in advance

+ * The let-us-not-waste-translator-time-release
+ (Closes: #408022, #413626)
+ * Verbose changelog
+ * Only kpilot related things are touched.
+ * Remove debconf-stuff - it is really useless as it is used to add devfs
+ related configuration for palm pilots.
+ The feature from this debconfstuff - to choose what device to use - is
+ something that the kpilot user interface also offers in a much better way,
+ so removing debconf is better than trying to somehov adapt it to a
+ non-devfs world.
+ * This change has lived in experimental since January.
