Package: libtowitoko2 Version: 2.0.7-7.1 Severity: normal Today I upgraded etch, and libtowitoko2 was updated at the same time. It seems it had been installed by the installer, so the debconf questions were unseen, and they were shown to me.
I have no idea what this library is and why I need it, and therefore I have no idea what these debconf questions are for. They ask me about a smartcard reader (I don't have one), and the help says this is needed by PSCS, I also have no idea what this is. I am not sure "medium" is the right priority for this. But in general I think that libraries which are usually pulled in by something else should not ask debconf questions at all, or if they do, they should explain which applications use the library and for what purpose (so that I, Dum B. User, am not too much confused). Since the information seems to be stored in a conf.d/ anyway, a good solution might be to let the applications ask the question and create the files.
