Hello,

as one of the coordinator of the debian translation force, I saw that
your package switched to debconf a while ago. I am sorry, but I'm not
sure it really worth it. The information contained in the template is
already included in README.Debian, so all the apt-listchanges users will
already see it.

Using this file is the current best practice in that area (check
packages such as xfree, gdb and tons of others), and I feel like the
debconf template acts as a dupplicate here.

I'm mainly concerned because I currently work to convert all the debconf
using packages to the po-debconf system. This is mandatory to get the
templates translated (see the developper reference for more details).

It's not that this convertion is hard to do, but since the note will
(hopefully) disapear in a short while, I don't feel like working on
this myself.


So, please, if you really want to keep your template despite my advice,
please do convert it to po-debconf. If you have any question in the
process, I'd be glad to help you.

Thanks, Mt.
