Package: ucf Version: 3.001 Severity: normal ucf recommends debconf-utils, for debconf-loadtemplate. It uses debconf-loadtemplate to load the ucf templates:
# Load out templates, just in case our template has
# not been loaded or the Debconf DB lost or corrupted
# since then.
if test $(id -u) = 0; then
if which debconf-loadtemplate >/dev/null 2>&1; then
debconf-loadtemplate ucf /var/lib/dpkg/info/ucf.templates
fi
As a recommends, debconf-utils is not currently installed by default, so
this code won't fire on most systems currently. But I'm looking at making
tasksel install recommends by default (see #388290), and since nfs-common
is standard priority and depends on ucf, if I do that, debconf-utils will be
installed as part of standard. I'd prefer to avoid that, since it's 140k
of utilities that were split out to a seperate package to _avoid_ having
them unnecessarily installed by default.
My question to you: Does ucf really need to recommend debconf-utils? How
important is it that it have debconf-loadtemplate available? Would a suggests
be more appropriate?
