[11:39] <xnox> cjwatson: debconffilter doesn't quite like multi-line input, e.g. for SUBST command.
[11:39] <xnox> there is a "TODO: handle excaped input"
[11:40] <xnox> is there an easy way to tell debconf to perform debconf-escaped SUBST commands?
[11:41] <cjwatson> db_capb escape
[11:42] <cjwatson> actual multi-line text breaks the debconf protocol; multi-line subst is only legal at all if the escape capb is set
[11:42] <xnox> partman-lvm/displayall just does it =)
[11:52] <cjwatson> partman-base enables the escape capb
[11:52] <cjwatson> so it's fine for stuff in partman to use it
[11:52] <cjwatson> but we do need to make debconffilter handle it
[11:52] <cjwatson> this is ubiquity's problem, not partman's :)
[11:52] <xnox> ah.... hmm....
