Ok, I started tidying up the package, basically it doesn't really need much tidying up (Petter has done a good job :-), but here are my comments: * package has been renamed to localization-config as discussed with Petter in debconf. * of all the conffiles.d, we only need xfree86-kbd, and probably kde(but updated for kde 3) * ispell needs to be updated to new versions which are (I think) debconf base * maybe add gnome configurations (but I have very little gnome experience) * we don't really need locale and timezone (as these are handled by debian-installer) * we also don't need to configure links and ktouch (as these are optional packages and not debconf based), ltsp-xfree86-kbd (as it's skolelinux specific) and opera6 (not available in debian itself) * If we decide to update kde as well, then we have to either: a) make kde configurable by debconf, or b) split the package into 2 subpackages, one to be called before X configuration (thus pre-seeding debconf values) and one after (finishing up KDE configuration). I don't really like any of these solutions, but I would go for one I'd go for the first. As it is, KDE 3 does quite a good job of detecting the default locale after a first installation (there is only a problem with the default X dpi and fonts resolution), but I only tested this for Greek. So, perhaps we could just skip KDE configuring as well. So that leaves us with just XFree86 and (possibly) ispell preseeding. Thoughts? Konstantinos
