Configuring jsmath
------------------
Remember that in order to activate the new
configuration a web server has to be restarted.
You can also restart web servers by manually
executing invoke-rc.d <webserver> restart.
Should web servers be restarted? no
This left me wondering, what new configuration? Looking at jsmath's
other debconf questions, I see that there is a jsmath/webserver, that
provides the context necessary to understand the above:
Description: Which web server would you like to reconfigure automatically:
If you do not select a web server to reconfigure automatically, jsMath
will not be usable until you reconfigure your webserver to enable
jsMath.
But this question is asked at priority medium (probably correctly),
so most users will not see it, and miss the context, and have to guess.
Suggested fix: Make the restarting question more verbose about what
configuration change has been made. Or, make that question also
medium priority (but it would have to probably default to true then, and
maybe you don't want to do that.)
