Adduser devel - Dec 2009 - Bug#560313: adduser: Use db_settitle instead of deprecated db_title

Package: adduser
Version: 3.111
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The debconf command db_title is deprecated and causes warnings when used.
Please apply the attached (untested but trivial) patch to use the command 
db_settitle instead.

Note that I''ve not marked the new title template as translatable.

Alternative option
------------------
AFAIK the dialog title defaults to the package name. Capitalizing the 
package name is not really usual in Debian, so an alternative patch could 
be to just remove the line ''db_title Adduser'' from the config
script.

Correction.

During a discussion with Joey Hess [1] it''s been decided to
"undeprecate"
the TITLE command. But as some of the comments in the BR are still valid, 
I''m not closing this BR.

Note that it is likely a Lintian warning will be added to warn that dialog 
titles should normally be translatable. So you may still want to apply the 
patch (or remove the db_title command) to avoid that warning.

Feel free to close the BR if you prefer to leave things as they are.

Cheers,
FJP
