Package: debian-policy
2.3.9.1 Prompting in maintainer scripts says:
"Prompting may be accomplished by hand, or by communicating with a
program, such as debconf, which conforms to the Debian Configuration
management specification, version 2 or higher."
The grammar is ambiguous and "by hand" is vague.
By hand should be defined and it should be specified whether
"communicating with a program" should conform "to the Debian Configuration
management specification, version 2 or higher."
Perhaps "by hand" could be changed to "directly".
The grammar could be fixed by one of the following:
"communicating with a program (which conforms to the
Debian Configuration management specification, version 2 or higher), such
as debconf."
"communicating with a program, such as debconf (which conforms to the
Debian Configuration management specification, version 2 or higher)."
I am unsure as to which one is correct.
Technically two bugs, but I think the difference is trivial. If not, a
clone is easy enough.
