Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.28
Severity: normal

looking to 
man dpkg-reconfigure 
for advice on how to set the priority, i only find "See debconf(7) for a list."
but there's no debconf(7) manpage -- what's more, vene the normal (1)
debconf manpage refers to (7), making it impossible to find the list of
values.
