Just noticed the semantic changes. This question is not intended this
way - I'd rather ask the user if he wants to update automatically.
Basically the user is to be asked during upgrades wether he wants the
maintainer scripts to do everything automatically. If he does not want
to he can still decide if he wants an LDIF file to be created.

This sounds useful. Just applied it to the source repository.
