interactive postinst scripts

[Thomas Gebhardt]

Hi,

some Debian packages expect some key strokes during installations
that are not handled by debconf. One of the most prominent packages
of this type is sendmail.

I already diverted /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig and 
/usr/share/sendmail/update_notices, but the postinst script still
wants someone to press a key. The postinst script does something
useful, so you cannot simply disable it.

Is there a recommended default strategy to deal with packages
of that type?

Thanks, Thomas
