Please stop that. This is not taking users for dumb people, this is warning them for something important, which can potentially be a security problem (since anyone can access the php scripts and mysql database while the application is not configured). While what you are trying to do (remove useless debconf notes) is good, do not take it as a ultimate goal without any real reason. Some notes are *really* important, and if notes is note the correct way, then another must be provided, because some matters are important (and security is one of them, even if you have no clue about that). I already explained that, while most packages leave the system in a safe way after installation (even if configuration is not changed after), this is not the case of glpi, since the application does *all* configuration by the web. So I'll explain this once: either you have some idea on how to help (warning the user that something important has to be done ASAP), or you just want to carry on your personal war vs debconf notes (in this case, consider the bug report as closed).
