Wherever you announced it to, it didn't seem to come to the attention of me or anyone else who is in a position to make the installer do that. (I knew about the config file, but..) If you're going to keep dpkg.cfg a conffile, I'm not going to make base-config touch it, which is probably the obvious place to change the setting. I don't really understand why you think pushing changing this setting off to another package is going to be more robust or easier, either. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
