I'm planning to have mirrormagic use debconf to ask the user if they want to delete the highscore files from the older version (which are incompatible from the new).
Having a choice of Yes/No is clear, but it seemed to me it might be appropriate to provide a third alternative, "Quit", which aborts the upgrade of mirrormagic. What is the usual approach to handling the aborting of a package installation? Is it appropriate to "exit 1" in preinst if the user chooses "Quit", halting the installation of the package? Or is this simply a Bad Idea, and the user should be expected to use Ctrl-C if he really wants to quit the installation?
