Uh? AFAICT, he's not asking you to remove it. He's suggesting you to ask for a change on the packaging-manual, as it currently forbids apt behaviour. (For the record, I do like the "analprompt" in new apt versions). (For the record again, IIRC "analprompt" is the "official" name, as that's how it's called in apt sources). I think the "dselect methods" chapter doesn't belong in the packaging manual. It says nothing about how to make a package. It talks about technical details in dselect's interface for its methods. It should be moved to a dpkg technical manual. > > Therefore, I still see here a contradiction between what packaging manual > > says a dselect method should do, and what apt actually does. > > > > I'm reopening this bug since a contradiction still remains (for this > > reason I'm doing a retitle as well).
