Package: fai
Version: 2.8.4
Followup-For: Bug #307266

Hey, I was just looking at the example file[1] in your package, and it
looks like it used spaces in the debconf info.  I have just found out
the hard way that it prefers tabs.  I thought this might be related to
your problem, and you might want to put something in the readme file
about it.  Copy/paste from a terminal often yields spaces instead of
tabs, which causes unexpected results.

for example, the first line here yields "apm" for the X driver
(regardless of which driver you try to use), and the second yields the
expected result:

xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver    select  nv
xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver    select  nv
