Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386
Severity: wishlist
Assuming that sarge is releasing with 2.6.8, please consider
increasing the kernel's MAX_INIT_ARGS and MAX_INIT_ENVS from 8 to 25
as is done in 2.6.10. That will significantly help unattended installs,
especially with debian-installer preseedi
Package: base-passwd
Version: 3.5.9
Followup-For: Bug #184979
Base-passwd still asks if it can update your system at configure time.
This should be a debconf option. A flag such as "/etc/kernel-img.conf"
would also work, but we really shouldn't be using such things when
debconf exists for this pu

Version: 0.74
Followup-For: Bug #212881
I developed a patch to cdebconf that provides noninteractive support
for unattended installs. It automatically uses the default setting
for every question and is based on the text installer. I'll include
it below, but it's also available

When installing 2.6 via netboot, installer still asks for
default network interface to choose even with debconf/priority=critical.
That makes unattended installs on a cluster of headless machines

Package: ircii
Version: 20030315-1
Followup-For: Bug #109996
ircii still uses postinst, not debconf. Although that feature has been on

because of it. Please consider upgrading the severity for the sarge release.

Followup-For: Bug #176758
trn still uses postinst for configuration rather than debconf. That makes
unatteneded installs with frontend noninteractive and priority critical
impossible
without working around this specific package.
