Hi Sylvian,
I totally agree with Jens, and I'd like to add something.

Instead of removing questions I'd remove every question and start again from scratch wondering what's so really important to bother the user during installation. I think that only critical (no sane default possible) and important security related questions should be asked at installation, that seems to be the norm.

Just take a moment to imagine a standard debian installation if every developer had your criteria about debconf, scared?

I'd asked myself "how many users I'm gonna bitch just to make happy one user?" to know what I should ask for. I think using priorities isn't right because even advanced users don't want too much innecessary questions. They'll go read the docs section and configure it their way ignoring all the debconf stuff.

If possible, ask no questions, that should be your goal and try it. If someone wants to have a weird configuration, he/she can make changes later. Also, a lot of settings are available thru mldonkey itself, don't ask for these!!

If I've said something terrible wrong, please forgive me, I'm just trying to help from what I know. ;)

Otherwise, glad to see you're making some important progress lately. Keep going!
