I guess we disagree here. > not keep it in examples and have the user need to do all the work > again and again. ideally, you would also allow using debconf for why again and again? The user does it once and that's it. And only if the default behaviour is not appropriate (which I doubt happens that often). > that.

If anyone wants to change the defaults he can do it without being asked to install a new version of the conffile over and over (that's what I meant for issues there). > also, you can basically just copy&paste from tftp-hpa that does all > this already. I guess that would be another way of doing it but really there is not much value in doing that for cpufrequtils. -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
