Yes, but on new installs you don't want to "assume old behaviour"; you want to assume the *default* behaviour, as specified in hotplug.templates. And that appears to be "auto", not "hotplug". In any event, it's bad form to override defaults already stored in the debconf database: one of debconf's most important features is precisely the ability to answer all questions in advance. > Anyway, hotplug already drops NET_AGENT_POLICY, so I have nothing to do with > this any more. I don't understand this. Even if you are trying to say that future versions of hotplug will not use NET_AGENT_POLICY (and I haven't seen anything to that effect in the latest changelog.Debian), that doesn't invalidate the bug for Debian sarge. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
