Package: snmp-mibs-downloader
Version: 1.1
Severity: wishlist

just stumbled over this. snmp.conf (from libsnmp) says:

---

# As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading
# of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable
# loaging them by commenting out the following line.
mibs :

It took me a bit of time to find out that I need to do this. My wish
here would be that the user is informed about the need of this change
(because we _are_ downloading the MIBs here). Maybe using a
debconf-infobox when this packet is installed and the above config-file
is present? Maybe it could even ask if it can perform this change
immediately?
