debconf template rewirte.

project smith hit the linux-2.6 templates.
linux-2.6 should generate now much less lintian warnings.

I am deleting the file ${modules_base}/=V/modules.dep. However,
since depmod is run at install time, we could just defer running depmod.
_Description: Abort installation after depmod error?
The 'depmod' command exited with the exit code ${exit_value}

just ignored.

. ${SIGNAL} ${CORE}
Since this image uses initrd, I am not deleting the file
${modules_base}/=V/modules.dep. However, there is no guarantee that the
file is valid. I would strongly advice you to either abort and fix the
errors in depmod, or regenerate the initrd image with a known good
modules.dep file. I repeat, an initrd kernel image with a bad modules.dep
shall fail to boot.
_Description: Abort installation after depmod error?
The 'depmod' command exited with the exit code ${exit_value}
(${SIGNAL}${CORE}).
.
Since this image uses initrd, the ${modules_base}/=V/modules.dep file
will not be deleted, even though it may be invalid.
.
You should abort the installation and fix the
errors in depmod, or regenerate the initrd image with a known good
modules.dep file. If you don't abort the installation, there is
a danger that the system will fail to boot.

Type: boolean
Default: true
Description: Should the old /System.map link be deleted now?
You have /System.map symbolic link. These were installed by ancient
kernel image packages. However, all the programs that look at the
information in the map files (including top, ps, and klogd)
also will look at /boot/System.map-=V
Having the symbolic link in / is technically detrimental
(apart from cluttering up /); many programs, though looking in /boot,
still allow /System.map to override. If you install multiple kernels
on this machine, then the /System.map symbolic link only
applies to one such kernel, for all other choices the symbols loaded
will be wrong. Not having /System.map at all prevents this.

Some programs may however give priority to /System.map and it
is therefore recommended to delete that link.

The default boot loader for this architecture is $loader, which is

$loader should be run in the configuration file /etc/kernel-img.conf,
and you seem to have grub installed, and have set a postinst hook
(which is used to hook in grub after a kernel image installation). At
this point, it is perfectly likely that this system is using grub as a
bootloader, and not the builtin default of $loader. If that is the case,
running $loader instead of grub might make the machine unbootable. I need
to know whether to run the default bootloader $loader, or just let the
postinst hook script update grub later. The default is to run $loader.
present.
.
However, there is no explicit request to run that boot loader in
/etc/kernel-img.conf while GRUB seems to be installed with
a postinst hook set.
.
It thus seems that this system is using GRUB as
boot loader instead of $loader.
.
Please choose which should run: the default boot loader now, or the
GRUB update later.

You are running a kernel (version ${running}) and attempting to remove
the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only
will /boot/vmlinuz-${running} be removed, making it impossible to boot
it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot

enough, you will have to replace the modules too.
