Package: inn2 Version: 2.5.1-1 Severity: important If a FQDN is not set then installation will fail and leave the package installed but unconfigured Is there a good way to deal with this case and let the package install by handling it in .postinst? Or can a .preinst be added so that the package will warn that FQDN is missing and not install itself at all.
