Hi, Daniel and others. First of all, thank you for your report regarding vrms.
Now that this version has migrated to testing (which mostly served as a huge update for the packaging structure), I think that the problem you reported can be dealt with in a new version. The current version also kept straight the fact of copyrights and such, since we need stricter control these days (in comparison to what Internet was, say, 15 years ago).

Yes, I made that change to avoid sending messages to the terminal with an ad-hoc interface (just printing things with echo to the terminal, that I tend to miss when doing upgrades). With debconf, it used to send mails to the administrator, but I see that that's not the case anymore (from the link you provided me). :-( > You're free to let the users choose through debconf whether they want > to have the cron job installed (cf. #168758), but you should not use > plain notes for anything but crucial problems requiring immediate > attention. Thanks for the suggestion. I think that this is a quite sensible request. The only "problem" :-) is that I will have to learn how to preserve the user modifications (perhaps via ucf, I think). Suggestions are welcome. > In current note in vrms doesn't meet these criteria and only clutters > the installation process with a useless note. Please remove. Yes, I will remove that.
