Package: zoneminder
Version: 1.24.2-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.9.1

it appears zoneminder also prompts the user directly from postinst when when a
database upgrade is performed:

3.9.1. Prompting in maintainer scripts
--------------------------------------

     Package maintainer scripts may prompt the user if necessary.
     Prompting must be done by communicating through a program, such as
     `debconf', which conforms to the Debian Configuration Management
     Specification, version 2 or higher.


it first prompts the user that zoneminder has been stopped, and then prompts
the user if they want to back up the database:

    zmupdate.pl --version $OLD_ZM_VERSION

zmupdate.pl probably needs to be patched to use debconf to answer these
questions directly, through commandline options that the postinst script could
use, or some other way...

live well,
  vagrant
