I'd say you stick it in debian/NEWS and leave it at that. If you're in doubt of whether or to use debconf for anything: don't. Far too many packages has become far too loquacious of late, and the (mis)use of debconf seem to be misinterpreted as a carte blanche for doing so, unfortunately. -- Tore Anderson
