I suggest the following two things: The debconf questions are moved to
tex-common/*, and answers if already stored in the debconf database, are
taken over to the relevant tex-common questions.
Second: I propose a new question:
-----------------------------
Template: tex-common/onlycachefonts
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Apply debconf rules on ls-R files only to /var/cache/fonts/ls-R
Files under /var/cache/fonts are generated on the fly by all the users
in case a font is missing. Therefore it is good to allow the update of
/var/cache/fonts/ls-R by a specified group. If you select yes here, only
this ls-R file is managed by debconf, all the other get save permissions
and can only be modified by root. If you choose no, all the ls-R files'
permission are managed by debconf.
----------------------------
To my mind only /var/cache/fonts/ls-R should actually have `liberal'
permissions, while the other ls-R files should not be touchable by
anybody else the root.
I have implemented the take over as follows:
. Copy the template file from tetex-bin and change all the tetex/ to
tex-common/
. add the above template
and then use the attached config script.
Please comment on it! I probably have missed something (first time
debconf-er).
Best wishes
Norbert
