Package: apt-dater-host Severity: serious apt-dater-host uses debconf wrongly, you should use Choices-C instead of 'translating' booleans into 0 and 1.
currently, it's not remembering the users choice and *always* enabling automated updates after a reconfigure or update, which is a serious bug. ---snip--- r...@bob:~# dpkg-reconfigure -plow -freadline apt-dater-host Configuring apt-dater-host -------------------------- If you disable this option, you have to acknowledge every upgrade process for all hosts. The pro of it would be, that you will be aware of every action apt wants to do. The con is, that you have to attach every host on multiple upgrades and acknowledge every single host.
