debconf – developers guide
DESCRIPTION
This is a guide for developing packages that use debconf. This manual assumes that you are familiar with debconf as a user, and are familiar with the basics of debian package construction. This manual begins by explaining two new files that are added to debian packages that use debconf. Then it explains how the debconf protocol works, and points you at some libraries that will let your programs speak the protocol. It discusses other maintainer scripts that debconf is typically used in: the postinst and postrm scripts. Then moves on to more advanced topics like shared debconf templates, debugging, and some common techniques and pitfalls of programming with debconf. It closes with a discussion of debconf’s current shortcomings.
