+Tag: isdefault-flag-is-deprecated
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/debconf
+Explanation: The "isdefault" flag on debconf questions is deprecated as of debconf
+ 0.5.00, and has been replaced by "seen" with the inverse meaning. From
+ debconf 0.5 onwards there should be very few reasons to use isdefault/seen
+ anyway, as backing up works much better now. See
+ /usr/share/doc/debconf-doc/changelog.gz for more information.
+ .
+ The misuse of isdefault often leads to questions being asked twice in one
+ installation run, or, worse, on every upgrade. Please test your package
+ carefully to make sure this does not happen.
