This won't show you more debconf messages than before. If you use dpkg-reconfigure, maybe with appropriate priority settings (-pmedium or -plow), the current package will show you a message. > In /usr/share/doc/tex-common/README.Debian is this explicitly written down, > but some message from postinst or a mail to the system account would be > better. When you reported the bug, your version of tex-common was already 0.20. This should have shown you a debconf message with a wording that should be quite clear. On the other hand, if you continuously upgraded and also had earlier versions of tex-common installed (0.16 to 0.19), the problem was caused by an earlier installation/upgrade, where the debconf logic was flawed, and the wording wasn't clear. If that's true, I think we can close the bug. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX)
