Description (last modified by geofft) (diff)
When running the installer, you should get prompted about things that aren't set by Debathena config packages, especially when installing something as large as thirdparty or extra-software. We should make our install shell script instead preseed the "seen" flag for all the packages that we configure.

I assume you are talking about debathena-auto-update.
This script does not run in an environment where there is a "you" to prompt. Either it's a private machine where the owner has abdicated update responsibility (by selecting -workstation), or it's a cluster machine. If it is not appropriate for a machine to make blind decisions about updates, then it should not be running this script.
