Thanks, that sounds like a useful feature indeed.

Seems more sensible for me, however, to implement this using debconf.

Otherwise, installation and removal of a package would need to trigger
u-boot-menu, and u-boot-menu would need to specially examine such
cofigfile snippets to skip snippets belonging to removed but not purged
packages.

How does that sound to you?  Do you imagine some scenarios where addon
packages would be needed and debconf would be unusable, then please
elaborate on that...

I'm honestly not really familiar with debconf (yet), especially when it comes to inter-packages interactions, but this sounds sensible indeed.

I'll experiment with it a bit and get back to you once I've found out what works (and what doesn't if any).



Please note this has been previously submitted as a merge request
on salsa

Thanks for reporting here as a bugreport: Debian uses debbugs for
tracking issues.  Salsa confusingly ofer isue tracking as well and even
has that feature enabled by default.  Sorry for the confusion, I will
now disable the issue tracker for this project to not be misleading in
the future.

Understood, I'll make sure to use the BTS in the future.

Thanks,
Arnaud
