Package: iceweasel-firegpg
Version: 0.5.dfsg-1
Followup-For: Bug #489889
Please disable automatic updates; not only are the constant nagging
messages annoying, but the possible presence of two _different_ versions
of the package could be very confusing/misleading for the user.
For other packages with automatic update functionality in debian, the
usual practice is to disable them in favor of letting the debian package
do the job.
If a user _were_ to accept an automatic update, even if this "doesn't
conflict", this would result in having two different versions installed.
This would mean that the behavior the user sees would _not_ reflect the
installed debian package, and yet the user often would likely not
realize this.
Thus:
(1) A user might report a bug using `reportbug' -- even if the bug
didn't exist in the debian package
(2) Despite installing urgent security fixes using the normal debian
mechanism, the fixes may not be present in the version the user
actually uses.
etc.
Having automatic updates enabled is just generally a bad idea.
Thanks,
-Miles
