Package: firebird
Severity: normal

The two current debconf notes, besides being far too aggressively written (no
need for yelling and artificially enhance debconf long descriptions),
improperly using the first person and making direct reference to the
maintainer's address, may be seen as debconf abuse, in my opinion.

Such notes pertain to NEWS.Debian, which is exactly meant for such use.

This has been found during the french translation work, which you will
receive soon, anyway (on this topic also...please take care of translators
and consider warning them whenever you change debconf templates).

Hi,

firebird2 packages no longer use debconf to warn users of potential
risks. This is mainly due to lowering risk factor by using proper
file/dir permissions.

Thank you for your work on translating firebird2 debconf templates.
