Debconf is already in standard. Three packages of > standard priority use debconf (console-tools, console-data, setserial). All are priority required. All three of them are set up so they will work without debconf, and only suggest or recommend it. We could continue this trend, though I suspect writing a package to work that way is rather annoying. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
