Package: libc-client2002edebian
Version: 7:2002edebian1-6
Severity: important


File /usr/share/doc/libc-client2002edebian/README.Debian.gz
have only part of needed information. I suggest
-    set disable-plaintext nil
+    I accept the risk
+    set disable-plaintext 0

why '0' not 'nil' ? Because in readme is redirect to imaprc.txt.gz ,
and in this file this option is explained as acceptable numeric argument,
not nil. I know, both values are correct, and cause the same effect,
I was tested it.

I suggest to add another question to configuration package.
Now package only ask for maildir support. I suggest add
another question, to enable plaintext passwords.
Why that method? Because after migrate from woody to sarge
by completly reinstalling, admin is typically in trouble what do
with pop3 and imap service. Simple copy config files not resolve this problem.
This question will not break IETF security recomendation, because ....
....... one of question in other packages, is enable shadow passwords :)


my config is:
file: /etc/c-client.cf
I accept the risk
set disable-plaintext 0


but debconf information (bottom this report),
present this as plaintext false. this is bug.
this option must be presented as true, when
'I accept the risk' is in config file, and
set disable-plaintext have value '0' or 'nil' .
