Package: radiusd-livingston Severity: normal One or more template(s) has/have been identified in this package's debconf templates that are displayed to users at low or medium priority.
The debconf-devel(7) manpage makes it clear that the "note" type should be used only for important notes that the user really should see. On the other hand, the "low" priority is meant for very trivial items that have defaults that will work in the vast majority of cases. The "medium" priority is meant for normal items that have reasonable defaults. As such, a note should only be used for IMPORTANT stuff, so actually all debconf notes should be priority high....or should not exist. Please consider one of the following options: - move the text of the debconf note to the README.Debian file. The drawback is that the text will not be translatable anymore, which will be worked in the future. However, given that your note is very rarely displayed, this is indeed not a very strong drawback - move the text to NEWS.Debian. This option should however rather be reserved for future texts of the same kind as the contents of this file is only displayed when users upgrade the package - change the template type to "error" in case this note is meant to be displayed only in some cases when a problem shows up during execution of the maintainer's scripts. Please check debconf-devel(7) for details - raise the priority to "high". This should be the last option to consider. It should be used only in cases where you judge that the information you display is VITAL for users of your package and that one could NOT USE IT if not reading the note. A dedicated check is included in lintian so that future uses of low and medium priority note templates are discouraged. So, if you wish you package to be lintian-clean, then you need to fix this..:-) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
