Hi Marc,
Please copy across the Debconf translations and scripts that I wrote for
gnome-cpufreq-applet over to gnome-applets. Disabling the SUID handling
altogether and hoping that the user is smart enough to read the README
goes against the "It should just work" philosophy of GNOME.
dpkg-statoverride isn't exactly the friendliest tool to be asking users
to use in the first place.
And if you are worried about contributing to excess Debconf questions
during a fresh install, then you could at least only ask the SUID
question if the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq directory is
present and prepopulating debconf with "false" should that directory be
absent.
Cheers,
Andrew Lau
