> My suggestion would be to use debconf only. The packages are using debconf - that's what's sending the e-mails. What happens is that when messages are not displayed to you during installation due to the priority you selected they get e-mailed to you instead. If you'd chosen to have all prompts displayed at installation time then no e-mails would have been generated. It might be nicer if Debconf just hid the messages completely but I haven't thought much about why it behaves like this. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
