+Tag: postinst-uses-db-input
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/debconf
+Explanation: It is generally not a good idea for postinst scripts to use debconf
+ commands like <code>db&lowbar;input</code>. Typically, they should restrict themselves
+ to <code>db&lowbar;get</code> to request previously acquired information, and have the
+ config script do the actual prompting.
