Ahh, then I just need to know how to turn this on, as I newer have
altered the debconf data manualy.

Btw. I also did get some debconf warnings, but I did not store them

packages on sarge (regarding debconf) ?

Thanks, but I tried to take this in account, but here goes :

Hmm, no changes was really made, but the old file  was overwritten, so I
made a new one that contained what was needed (or at least what was what
