[Debconf-devel] Bug#540598: debconf: re-ask old questions again option gone?

[Jayen]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.27
Severity: wishlist

Perhaps related to bug #495319

When I run 'dpkg-reconfigure debconf', I expect to see a question asking if I 
want debconf to re-ask old questions again.  I'm pretty sure I remember this 
option being around previously, and there is evidence of it at 
http://wiki.debian.org/debconf .

Could you please bring this option back?

Thanks,
Jayen
