If it is about a particular note then which one?

FYI debconf prompt was introduced by request of Ansgar (on behalf of ftp-
master) as a condition for entering archive.

libdvd-pkg uses debconf dialogs to configure or schedule important actions 
that may not be possible to do when dialog is displayed.

At the moment I can't quite recognise the abuse without further hints...

If any remedy is tested under controlled scientific conditions and
proved to be effective, it will cease to be alternative and will simply
become medicine. So-called alternative medicine either hasn't been
tested or it has failed its tests.
