Right. So you do not want to do normal debconf stuff. :) > True selected: > 1) touch /etc/readahead/profile-once > 2) touch /etc/readahead/profile-once and reset value to false > > The second one would fix the problem, but I'm not sure if this is a > good way to work with debconf. I am not sure it make sense to provide a debconf question to the user about this. :) If you only use db_get on the debconf value, and then set it to false after it is read, it is only available for preseeding, and do not need any translation. This is what I call hidden debconf questions. It is only fetched in the postinst script, and not asked in the config script. The default should probably be false. > Another question is about translations.

No need translate a hidden debconf question. Do not flag it for translation. There is a special way to write templates that make lintian and other tools understand that the template should not be translated.
