I know that lots of you don't know "dpkg-reconfigure", well, it will write the /etc/whatever.conf file for you asking you in an interactive way what do you want to do.
But etc-update is interactive as well, isn't it?
process, so I'd suggest to print information (or warning) messages in a more efficient way, for example: AT THE END OF THE EMERGE PROCESS, not at the end of each package emerge process. I think that PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES, PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM and PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI is not so necessary if all messages are printed out at the end of the global emerge process.
I used to think the same, but changed my mind with the introduction of PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail" (or actually, ="custom"). Reason: This way, I get all the messages mailed to me, for me to review. That's *IMO* even better. Reason: You get the messages earlier and suppose the system crashes in the middle of the emerge. If all the messages were just shown at the end, some messages might be lost. No. With the advent of PORTAGE_ELOG_*, everything is fine as far as I'm concerned.
