Bug#268764: tetex-bin: Unclear Debconf question
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-20
Severity: minor
----
Configuring tetex-bin
The language.dat file, which contains the information for hyphenation
patterns to load, can be handled automatically by debconf.
If you do not choose this, we will enable one nearly all available
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
patterns. Choose it if you want to deselect some patterns. Manual
editing is still possible, and your changes will be preserved.
Manage language.dat with debconf?
----
The highlighted part above doesn't make sense, and as such it is
unclear what the consequences of handling language.dat manually are.
Perhaps the wording of this sentence could be revised.
