Yes, a common way to conditionally set environment variables seems to be missing. It should be an important thing to hook config modularisation / profiles into. A pluggable authenticatin module or a patched PAM-system that allows this may perfectly solve this, I guess. > I thought it worthy to draw this list's attention to this bug for two > reasons. One there has only been one person seconding it, Just wanted to add that the objection I first had because it sounded to me like a "must" policy had been cleared away. I see how a "should" can help in raising awareness and letting patches in. Actually, I agree this has been done already by mentioning debconf in policy. Still not all debconfizing whishes / patches make it in, right? Now, imagine a debconf system that supports a configuration modifier helper library[0] (modularized/multilevel), or even only much simplified debconf maintainer scripts because they can use the helper library. *That* may change the situation with real momentum.
