Hello, from time to time, especially while upgrading a lot of packages I notice debconfig questions for packages I do not know. This is of course quite likely given the size of debian archive and the fact, that task packages introduce a lot of packages one has not selected explecitely.
Some of those packages ask questions, which are hard to understand, if you do not know what the package is all about. Of course, one can argue, that this is a problem with the phrasing of the question an should be fixed by a bug report, but I truely think that for example explaining, what the package is all about should not be repeated in every debconfig question. Therefore I wonder if the various debconfig frontends cant support something like displaying the package description. For the slang frontend for example I would think that a footer with foo: dealing with bar <f3 for more> would do the trick. Where f3 opens a pop-up with the package description and dependencies. What do you think?
