In version 0.1.0+bzr10-1, this wasn't documented at all. In version
0.1.0+bzr19-1 the variable is documented in README.md. That's already
an improvement.

Yes and no.
Since installing the package enables the unconditionally system-wide,
there should be a possibility to disable the global activation or at
least configuring the timeout value -- better both. Currently the user
seems to have no chance to disable undistract-me or change
$LONG_RUNNING_COMMAND_TIMEOUT if the .deb is installed.
But this does not need such heavy-weight tools as debconf.
Letting /etc/profile.d/undistract-me.sh source
/etc/default/undistract-me and then only source
/usr/share/undistract-me/long-running.bash if e.g.
$GLOBALLY_ENABLE_UNDISTRACT_ME is set to something like "1" or "true"
should already suffice.
This would also allow the administrator to set
$LONG_RUNNING_COMMAND_TIMEOUT globally.
Regards, Axel
