Package: msttcorefonts
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 msttcorefonts
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..:-)

Description:
msttcorefonts - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts

Changes:
msttcorefonts (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* No longer install the update-ms-fonts command. It's only
needed upon package installation/upgrade, so it's now part
of the package postinst. In the rare case that it needs to
be ran again, just dpkg-reconfigure (Closes: #401698).
* Add new font: Tahoma. Based on patch from Michael Gilbert,
thanks! This unfortunately nearly doubles the download size
(Closes: #380294).
* Add support for setting a HTTP proxy during installation.
Unfortunately it turns out to be difficult to pass the
http_proxy environment variable around properly between
different shells, especially for those using sudo, so
this is needed for some situations
(Closes: #333012, #413646).
* Update to debhelper compatibility level 5 (from 1).
* Remove obsolete upgrading code causing warnings
(Closes: #290856, #392544, #405658).
* Checked for policy 3.7.2, no changes.
* X config location is now xorg.conf, not XF86Config-4.
* Fix some non-POSIX shell code (Closes: #354926).
* Refactor debconf prompting: drop template 'blurb'
as per policy 3.9.1 (no copyright messages in debconf),
make baddldir of type error and some minor corrections
(Closes: #388936).
* Update the list of SF.net mirrors.
