Thanks for uploading a fixed package so > quickly! :-) Ugh, this comment in the bug log tipped me off that something was wrong... and sure enough, what do I find when looking at the package but debconf note abuse. Christian, please use NEWS.Debian for this, that's what it was created for -- and this is *not* what debconf notes were created for. :/ For the record, the lintian error is *not* wrong. Unless the postinst sources the debconf confmodule, a config script will never be run when installing the package using dpkg (which is still valid and expected to work, even though apt is now the norm). -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
