I've just got this very first email from the debian bugtracking system which seems to be sent to inform me that there is a question about why list asks twice for the confirmation to sent data. Well the first question is a general question for confirmation if list is allowed to send data, whatever data would be needed. The second question (the second three questions) is specially for these three things (kernel, modules and x11 config), because these things are also security related things where some people are very afraid and careful to send such things. I've added these many question on purpose. Because it is better to ask someone several times to send dangerous data instead of not asking at all, isn't it? The user has to be absolutly sure that he is willing to give this data away. And by the way, you can automatically answer all questions with the appropriate switch, see the --help for information about that. ps: Sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native english speaker.
