The first screen is for selecting a language. There is a 'Go Back'
button or the ESC key to use. 'Change debconf priority' has an
extensive help screen.

Does doing this mean the user has

a) read the first screen?
b) read the manual?
c) been overcome with curiosity?
d) a cat given to walking on keyboards?

Or does it mean the user possesses super-human powers and has become an
'expert'?

You wouldn't be the first; it crops up from time to time. Some people
