Package: libc6 Version: 2.6.1-1+b1 Severity: minor Hi,
Prompting using debconf is recommended by policy. It seems that you can't use debconf to prompt the user about restarting services after upgrade, which is OK. Currently, if DEBIAN_FRONTEND is set to noninteractive, preinst doesn't prompt the user. It would be great to extend this test to also check (using debconf) if the frontend is set to noninteractive. You could use "debconf-show debconf" for that, and ignore the error produced if debconf is not installed (so that you don't need to depend on debconf). Having to remember to set DEBIAN_FRONTEND is a PITA when doing non-interactive upgrades.
