Not necessarily. With the current confugarion script it is impossible for keyboard-configuration/variant to be "seen" and to have value "other". What if console-setup expects this and some other program changes the "seen" flag of this question and leaves "other" as a value? Anyway, modifying the seen flag is like modifying the value of an object without using its own methods or like modifying the configuration files of other packages. Notice that in several cases console-setup modifies the "seen" of its own questions for a reason. It is not a simple script and even if you are right that no problems can arrise, this is not obvious to me. > > 5. In some cases this is simply wrong.
