Matt,

I agree that we should not use debconf to make this install guide similar to the Ubuntu guide.

Subject: [OpenStack-docs] Debian installation guide for Juno

I'm seeing some bugs pop up for the Debian variant of the Juno installation guide that merely add to the list of existing open bugs from prior releases. Considering the bugs and installation testing status page [1], I don't see any attempts to test and/or maintain this variant. The Debian packages use debconf, a configuration system that requires un-translatable screen shots to configure services. However, some items still require manually editing configuration files. Also, Debian receives minimal readership compared to other distributions which reduces the return on investment to maintain a system different from any other distribution. I brought this issue up several weeks ago and thought we wanted to pursue disabling debconf to make Debian mostly follow Ubuntu and therefore easier to maintain. Any alternative installation processes using debconf and/or automation would reside outside of the official installation guide. Did we reach an agreement?
