I believe you have misread the policy. As far as I know, it says that one packages maintainer scripts should not modify another packages configuration files. The script called from base-config is not a maintainer script, so this isn't a policy violation. But it would be better if the individual packages provided a script to change the language settings, to avoid having to track all the different package formats, and to avoid upgrade problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
