Hello, ... I tried adding a little debconf question to one of my packages, and followed the instructions found in the debconf-devel man pages as well as under /usr/share/doc/debconf-doc/tutorial.txt.gz.
I created a templates file, put it in the debian directory, created a config file and a postinst file, like was adviced. Now, the package builds fine, i tried running the postinst by hand, and it asked me the question in the template. When i installed the built package, it did not ask me the question, since it had already. Not thinking much (it was late at night), i uploaded the package to unstable. Now, when others try installing the packages, it fails in pre-configure, since there is no mention of the debconf template file in the package, and no mention of my debconf question in /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat. I am a bit at a loss here, how do you make debconf understand it should add the debconf template in the distributed package ? Note that it is a multi-binary package.
