Hello Frank,
ok, I updated at home (testing alpha). I chose "yes" and again I was
not asked any selection. The wording was very clear now.
Before

During update, I saw one segfault:
Regenerating /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg ... done
Running initex. This may take some time. ...

(there may have been more, but I just happend to come by on the console). But
since I had some strange things happening (especially with latex) lately, which
went away after a re-install/reboot, I (unfortunately) suspect my machine.
I saved
/tmp/tetex.postinst.XXCf6vqM
and will run a dpkg-reconfigure tetex-base tomorrow, after a reboot.
Finally I think the wording of NEWS.Debian.gz should be improved. Please
note that I am not a native speaker, so my changes might be unnecessary
or not 100% correct either. I can file a wishlist bug if you'd like:
Since we introduced debconf management of hyphenation patterns during
the development of the 2.0.2 packages, this mechanism has been the
default.
What is the default here? The debconf-management? I'd suggest:
During the development of the 2.0.2 packages, the hyphenation patterns
were managed via debconf by default.
Of course you loose the "introduce", but IMHO it is less important when
the debconf management was introduced, but rather important when the default
started (changed).
switched to enable
I don't think you can say that. Maybe
switched the default settings to enable
or even better
changed the default settings to enable
If you want to get back to the new default
Well, going back is incorrect here. I know what you mean, maybe
If you want to use the new default,
Greetings
Helge
P.S. How long do you wait for an answer for the new debconf (approx)? I also
saw a fuzzy string in one of the po-files in CVS.
