Package: em8300
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Hello,
As announced in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/09/msg00630.html, this bug
report is part of a mass bug filing campaign about the "abuse" of
debconf templates of type "note".
First of all, in case you fixed you package in the short timeframe
that happned between my announcement and this bug report, please
accept my apologies and, of course, feel free to ask me to close the
bug report...or just close it yourself.
One or more template(s) has/have been identified in em8300
debconf templates and an automated analysis mentions that it/they is/are
displayed to users at low or medium priority.
The debconf-devel(7) manpage makes it clear that the "note" type should
be used only for important notes that the user really should see.
On the other hand, the "low" priority is meant for very trivial items
that have defaults that will work in the vast majority of
cases. The "medium" priority is meant for normal items
that have reasonable defaults.
As such, a note should only be used for IMPORTANT stuff, so actually
all debconf notes should be priority high....or should not exist.
Please consider one of the following options:
- move the text of the debconf note to the README.Debian file. The drawback
is that the text will not be translatable anymore, which will be worked
in the future. However, given that your note is very rarely displayed,
this is indeed not a very strong drawback
- move the text to NEWS.Debian. This option should however rather be
reserved for future texts of the same kind as the contents of this file
is only displayed when users upgrade the package
- change the template type to "error" in case this note is meant to be
displayed only in some cases when a problem shows up during execution of
the maintainer's scripts. Please check debconf-devel(7) for details
- raise the priority to "high". This should be the last option to consider.
It should be used only in cases where you judge that the information you
display is VITAL for users of your package and that one could NOT USE IT
if not reading the note.
A dedicated check will be proposed to the lintian and linda package
maintainers so that future uses of low and medium priority note
templates will be discouraged in the future. So, if you wish you
package to be lintian-clean, then you need to fix this..:-)

Changes:
em8300 (0.16.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release
+ Fixes fails to build with 2.6.14 (Closes: #342377)
.
[ Brendon Higgins ]
* Add extra guesswork for kstem, fixes problem when using module-assistant.
(Closes: #373646)
* Remove mention of em8300-i2c-2.8.0.patch in em8300-source.README.Debian,
that patch has been obsolete and non-existant for ages.
* Mention the use of module-assistant in same. (Closes: #373646)
* Add headers and module-assistant as alternative recommendations for
em8300-source.
* Make kernel dependency in em8300-modules unversioned.
* Have em8300-source recommend bzip2 (it's kinda useless if you can't extract
it).
* Added Swedish debconf templates translation. Thanks Daniel Nylander.
(Closes: #331031)
* Change microcode download failure notification template type to error
(Closes: #388891)
* Make debconf templates compliant with the guidelines.
* Let dh_installmodules handle depmod in postinst. (Closes: #381776)
* Don't try to generate device nodes when udev or devfs is running.
* Move em8300 firmware to /lib/firmware. (Closes: #341313)
* Remove support for multiple firmwares (most users won't need it, not worth
the effort).
* Remove support for 2.6 kernels that are missing automatic firmware loading.
+ Add mention in README of how to fix it for such kernels.
* Modify debian/watch to support new "nofirmware" upstream release series.
+ Drop the dfsg label since upstream supplies us with a dfsg version.
* debian/em8300.postinst, debian/em8300.config, debian/control: Remove logic
to handle upgrade path from oldstable packages, not necessary.
* Update the 10_modules_em8300_header patch for modules/em8300_alsa.c.
* Remove backspace-underlining in readme.txt, faq.txt that made these files
almost unreadable in text editors.
* Update FSF address in copyright file.
* Bump debhelper compatibility to V4 (no changes needed).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.2 (no changes needed).
.
[ Nicolas Boullis ]
* Install /usr/share/alsa/cards/EM8300.conf for ALSA support.
* No more (policy-violating) creation of special device files; add a
debconf note instead if they need to be created on a static /dev.
* Unregister the old em8300/make_devices template.
* Reorganize em8300.config and em8300.postinst.
* Do not ship an empty and now useless /usr/share/em8300 in em8300.
* Remove the map files generated by depmod from the built module
package.
* The module package now recommends em8300 >= 0.16.0-1 because of the
ALSA configuration file.
* Have em8300's debconf templates reviewed and improved by
debian-l10n-english, thanks to MJ Ray.
* Have em8300's README.Debian file reviewed and improved by
debian-l10n-english, thanks to Dominic Hargreaves.
