[Debconf-devel] Bug#383607: Set default priority to "low"

[Michelle Konzack]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.30.13
Severity: wishlist

Hello Developers and Maintainer,

I am tired of explaining NEW $USER what is configurable on a Debian
system.  If I help NEW $USER to install a Debian system, I set the
debconf priority by default to "low" which show the $USER all possibel
config options.

I think, Debian should set this by default to low, to make it more
easier for NEW users.

All others can then set the priority to a higher level.

Note:   I was realy surprised for some years as I had set debconf to
        "low" and was running 'dpkg-reconfigure --all' and seen, WHAT
        is configurable...  It was nowhere explained.
