• Bug#267217: cpad-kernel: Should not refer to user specific actions such

    From Christian Perrier@1:229/2 to All on Sat Aug 21 10:00:13 2004

    Package: cpad-kernel
    Severity: normal

    Debconf templates should avoid using constructions like this because of the various interfaces used by debconf. Depending for instance on translation,
    some of these may present the user with a choice different from a Yes/No choice....and some may not.

    If you want to see this, just try to choose the "gnome" interface for
    debconf, then "dpkg-reconfigure <your-package>" under X (you may need
    some lib* packages installed for the gnome interface to work).

    So the only solution for avoiding "strange templates" is by reformulating,
    for instance :

    "If you choose this option" instead of "If you say yes here".

    (or "you should not use this option" instead of "you should answer "no" here)
