I've considered this before. This snippet should never fire unless there's something very unusual about the user's system. Adding debconf to the list of sudo dependencies just to handle this "virtually never" sanity check really doesn't make sense to me. If push comes to shove and pedantic adherence to this element of policy is required, I'll probably just abandon this test in the postinst entirely rather than add debconf support. Bdale
