It could, but the consensus in #554914 was to use debconf and I don't really want to change that again now that I've got the buildd code changed. Or do you mean that one of man-db's maintainer scripts could save the value in debconf in a flag file for use when triggered? That could work; I guess it would have to be the preinst. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
