cjwatsonev: I dunno.  I do sort of agree with Joey, and I hate the idea of keeping a patch like that against debconf forever.  Is there a strong reason for us to push it?08:18
evcjwatson: we could enable debug mode by default during development and not have to ask people to run through the installer a second time (especially when they've since completed a successful install).11:00
evis there a reason why it's considered a hack?  Other than the regex on "SET " it seems quite clean, and I can't see why the aforementioned bit is that bad.11:03
everr rather, "why do you consider it a hack"11:03
cjwatsonev: having to parse the command twice is pretty ugly, but the really ugly bit is having to figure out the question type right at the start like that12:51
cjwatsonev: maybe we could have that hack in debconf just during development, not sure12:51
cjwatsonI think I would strongly prefer it not to be present for release12:52
evthat sounds like a reasonable compromise if we cannot come up with anything better.12:52
