Nice detective work. > The patch below makes cdebconf use strcasestr() instead of strstr(), which > fixes the problem for all but one template in that file, namely > ifupdown/convert-interfaces, which I believe is rather broken anyhow as it > uses UTF-8 without specifying a character set (just "Description-xx: "). If it's using ascii that's valid, anyway cdebconf should also be sure to copy Description-xx[_XX] fields too, as debconf will store them that way if the package doesn't specifiy an encoding. -- see shy jo
