Behavior
The User/Administrator (root) can configure the following aspects of debconf behavior:
* Ask again: debconf by default does not re-ask old configuration questions during upgrade of a package, instead it uses old answers to generate new versions of configuration files, providing seamless upgrade capability. But this behavior can be changed so such questions are always asked (with old answers provided as defaults). * WikiPedia:Frontend: debconf can ask its questions using interfaces from plain text to Dialog (default) to GNOME control applet. * Priority: all questions are assigned priority levels, either low, medium, high or critical, and the user/admin can decide below what priority level they would like debconf to use the default configuration answer without asking (the default being high).
In the same way, you can configure debconf-enabled packages by typing
} and answering configuration questions.
