Public bug reported:

When I install nautilus-admin package on Ubuntu, then all users get
misleading warning at first login after installation:

"The file manager must be restarted in order to start the Nautilus Admin
extension."

This warning should be moved from nautilus-admin package debian/postinst
script to package's description or /usr/share/doc/nautilus-
admin/README.Debian, because of 2 reasons:

1. User's should not be disturbed about installed nautilus extensions,
this info is useful only for system administrator, so, it belongs to
package's description or /usr/share/doc/nautilus-admin/README.Debian

2. Prompting "every" user instead of system administrator violates
Debian policy, see www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-
binary.html#s-maintscriptprompt

Prompting must be done by *communicating through a program, such as
debconf*, which conforms to the Debian Configuration Management
Specification, version 2 or higher.

** Affects: nautilus-admin (Ubuntu)
