Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit
Version: 2.0.0012.deb6
Severity: normal

Hello,
I'm on a slow connection and I cannot let the package postinst script
download the nvidia toolkit from web:

Setting up nvidia-cg-toolkit (2.0.0012.deb6) ...
Downloading
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/Cg_2.0/2.0.0012/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_x86_64.tar.gz
on the amd64 architecture.
     0KB [..dpkg: error processing nvidia-cg-toolkit (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt)

I got to kill it, and manually launch:

# nvidia-cg-toolkit-installer --install                        \
  --toolkit-file /pendrive/debian/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_x86_64.tar.gz \
  --spec-file /pendrive/debian/Cg-2.0_Jan2008_LanguageSpecification.pdf 

but the package remains unconfigured:

# grep -A 1 "Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit" /var/lib/dpkg/status 
Package: nvidia-cg-toolkit
Status: install ok half-configured

So it would be nice if the postint prompts for a debconf choice to either
download or install from a local downloaded copy.

Thanks,
Sandro

PS: it would be even nicer if the package won't get reconfigured (thus
redownloading the file) at each new debian revision (.debX) but only
when upstream version bumps.
