Thanks for reporting it, but this is not a bug... rather, its a fix for the bug that forced everyone dist-upgrading (and getting brltty) to go through the configuration screens for brltty.

The package is in flux right now, so the configuration will settle down soon.

It is in fact a bug. I did not modify this conffile at all, and therefore there is no reason to prompt.

Has this been fixed now or is it still a problem in upgrading from Breezy to Dapper? Certainly I've not seen this prompt while upgrading from Dapper to Edgy and Edgy to Feisty.
