Thanks. To clarify, is this bug regard to the following debconf note: jas@latte:~/src/yubikey-val-dpkg$ cat debian/yubikey-val.templates Template: yubikey-val/initial-client Type: note _Description: Initial API client An API client has been created to ease getting started. You can get the client secret by running: . user:~$ sudo ykval-export-clients jas@latte:~/src/yubikey-val-dpkg$
Or something else? If it is wrt to the note above, I agree with removing it and putting the same information in README.Debian instead. /Simon sön 2013-06-02 klockan 19:26 +0200 skrev Christian Perrier: > Package: yubikey-val > Version: N/A > Severity: normal > > This package seems to use a debconf note to notify users without any > special action. > > This is usually identified as "debconf abuse".
