I meant a simple echo warning, not a blocking db_input notification. Still, I can appreciate not cluttering dpkg output, so I have removed that. On your suggestion, I added to ability to check for /boot/finnix-*.iso or any Finnix ISOs in /boot/finnix and update /etc/default/grub-finnix, but then removed it. I didn't like the idea of postinst arbitrarily modifying a conffile, so now /etc/default/grub-finnix just contains /boot/finnix by default. If it exists and contains Finnix ISOs, it will be processed. If not, nothing will happen. FYI, the bzr repo URL changed slightly from my original post, it is now: https://code.launchpad.net/~finnix/finnix/grub-finnix-pkg RF
