Let's please not re-open that debacle. I was informed that Debconf
was specifically -*not*- to be used to preset information to users,
and had one of those spray-and-pray bugs filed against the package. I
ripped all of it out because there was no other solution. You can't
show it in debconf, and you can't show it in the terminal.
Those messages are there strictly for informative purposes, and would
violate policy if moved to debconf. If you feel that strongly that
they shouldn't be there, they will have to be removed entirely.
They only provide helpful guidance to an admin that may be
accidentally attempting to remove qmail. I will remove them in true
Debian fashion if you don't see their value, or believe that their
presence violates the rules.
Cheers!

Policy 3.9.1 suggests that user prompting should be done via debconf,
not directly to the terminal.
qmail's prerm (at least) prompts directly to the terminal, thus
presenting an unfamiliar interface to users.
