retitle 226365 xserver-xfree86: [debconfage rewrite] selection-method question should be displayed at high priority under fewer circumstances thanks On Sun, Jan 04, 2004 at 05:46:46PM -0500, Joey Hess wrote: > Package: xserver-xfree86 > Version: 4.2.1-14 > Severity: normal > > If my debconf priority is high, I do not want to be bothered by > questions that have a reasonable default. In my opinion, monitor configuration *doesn't* have a reasonable default if nothing can be autodetected. Also, the "simple" method gives extremely poor (read: terrible, often unusable) results with LCD screens. So I stand by my decision that this question needs to be high priority under *some* circumstances. Naturally I'm interested in minimizing those. > This is the definition of the priority.
