Thanks for this.  Before I look at the patch in any detail, could you 
please confirm whether there was any LLM involvement in creating it?  It 
was surprisingly quick given the description of how much you did, and 
I'd like to check because I do not want debconf's licensing status made 
ambiguous by the output of an LLM.

(Sorry to have to check, but this is the world we apparently live in 
now.)

Regards,
