Dear mentors,
I have a question regarding configuration file changes.
I've written a utility to manage a fairly complicated configuration
file. The utility is used in the postinst script, and debconf feeds it
the right parameters. The utility can also be used stand-alone by the
administrator.

I've just commented your package on mentors.debian.net.
Sorry for duplicated comments, I had some errors 500 during commenting and I
thought they haven't been added.
I have uploaded a new version which addresses the embedded JS issue

Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure about this. But you might want to look at
the ucf utility and it's usage in maintainer scripts.

Hi,
Numerous times, I've seen people post their RFS requests for software

It'd be really great if mentors.d.n was aware of the different packaging
team, and was kindly telling about it
