• Bug#266329: asks at high priority about configuring, but follows with m

    Package: atftpd
    Version: 0.6.3
    Severity: normal

    The debconf config script asks at high priority whether to configure
    atftpd with debconf. If you choose to do so, it asks all the config
    questions at medium priority. The result is that if it's installed at
    high priority, it asks if you want to configure it, and then doesn't let
    you.

    I think it would be better not to ask the high priority question at all,
    and always configure it, if the user's debconf priority is set to allow
    it. That's what debconf priority levels are for, to control what level
    of configuration you want to do. There's no need for atftpd to ask about
    that.
