Dear Developpers,
I wanted to check if dak was case-sensitive when parsing the
DM-Upload-Allowed field, but I did not find this string in the sources
that I got from `apt-get source dak'. I then checked debian/copyright,
that pointed me to http://cvs.debian.org/?cvsroot=dak, in which I did

Hi,
demac has some bugs with v3.97 format files. I would recommend merging
in patches from ffmpeg and making a seperate product.

What is the best way to ask for a password in a debconf prompt?
I've got a package (email-reminder) which asks for the SMTP login and
password. I'm using a debconf of type "password" and output the result of
that in a config file (only readable by root).

Hello,
I'm writing some manpages, and I wonder what's the current practice for
documenting a file like in /etc/default/foobar.
On my laptop [1], only /etc/default/rcS seems to have a manpage in the
section 5. The problem is that the filename is often the name of the
package and/or the name of th
