Public bug reported:

A user recently reported an issue running Hardy Alpha 6.  The user has a
Samsung mobile phone, and installed all packages that mentioned
"samsung".  Consequently, he accidentally installed this package and
spent two days and two re-installs trying to figure out why his system
was constantly and inexplicably reconfigured automatically.

Admittedly he should have read the package name and description first.
However, would it be possible to either have a warning dialog (using
debconf?) that warns the user that they should only install this package
on a Samsung Q1 and requires the user to confirm they want to install
the package.  With this suggestion, I'm assuming an automated install
could provide an answer file to allow the package to be automatically
installed.

Having such a warning could cut down on costly support calls.  Please
let me know if you need additional information.
