Just a remark as the new maintainer of dbconfig-common in Debian. Unfortunately, the behavior that you want is the wrong solution to the problem, as it would blindly overrule system administrators decisions. Therefore this bug is in essence wontfix.
However, what is a legitimate question is that maintainers should have a way to change priority of questions. This is requested in Debian bug 607171. No solution yet, but I will probably be working on it. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607171 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #607171 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=607171 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dbconfig-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065331 Title: variables defined in maintanier script overriden by global config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbconfig-common/+bug/1065331/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
