Hi, quick update on this.. it took longer than expected because I also realized that what goes for health_alarm_notify.conf also applies to netdata.conf (that is currently not modified/handled by debconf, but for which I would like to add some debconf questions for the tree basic/most common things too).
Doing this properly and in a non-crappy way (especially because health*.conf is shell, netdata.conf is ini format) requires a bit more work (in the long run, I hope upstream will fix it by implementing proper conf.d support for all configuration files). Therefore.. to get netdata into testing as soon as possible.. I'll drop the debconf handling for now, get that into testing, and introduce it in some time after careful testing when everything works.
