If at all possible, use debconf to display the message at appropriate priority. (see the tutorial in debconf-doc, and the many example packages) That way: - Noninteractive installations will get the message in a log or via mail - Users who don't care about the notice won't see it at all If the message only applies to some users, perform a check and only display the message if it applies. -- - mdz
