Thanks, Travis was the first pointed out that.

This is the second time I saw people suggestion setting it to low now.
Though being a debian-newbie myself, I don't agree on it. setting it to
low is only meant for pros, not newbies. Otherwise, you be greeted with
tons of tedious questions that newbies have no clue about. 

Just for the archive, I strongly suggest to set it to 'critical' --
accept every default setting, and fix it later if it doesn't work out of
box.
