If at all possible, use debconf to display the message at appropriate priority.
(see the tutorial in debconf-doc, and the many example packages)
That way:
- Noninteractive installations will get the message in a log or via mail
- Users who don't care about the notice won't see it at all
If the message only applies to some users, perform a check and only display the
message if it applies.
