Bug#668337: mumble-django: Debconf abuse: mumble-django/run-mumble-django-configure

[Christian Perrier]

Package: mumble-django
Severity: normal

Hello,

The debconf template added to this package can be defined as debconf
"abuse". 

Most of the time, such notes shouldn't be used to interrupt packages
installation. In the case of the note you used, instructions like "you
should run "foobar" to configure the package" belong to the
README.Debian file, not to a debconf note.

There is an interestign rationale about this in the Developer's
Reference as well as in the debconf-devel(5) manpage (in short :
"Debconf notes are Evil").
