Bug#332637: config for xserver-xorg/autodetect_mouse broken
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
During the upgrade to -8, I was asked three times whether I wanted to
attempt mouse device autodetection.
1. During normal debconf preconfigure.
2. Before unpacking xserver-xorg.
3. During xserver-xorg postinst.
Each time I answered "No".
Since I was upgrading, even once was too many, but three times seems
excessive...perhaps you need a "Really definitely no, please don't ask
again!" choice. :-)

PS In the interest of brevity, I deleted the xorg.conf and xserver log
file from this report; if you really need them, let me know.
