Bug Description

When I install nautilus-admin package on Ubuntu, then all users get misleading warning at first login after installation:

"The file manager must be restarted in order to start the Nautilus Admin extension."

This warning should be moved from nautilus-admin package debian/postinst script to package's description or /usr/share/doc/nautilus-admin/README.Debian, because of 2 reasons:

1. User's should not be disturbed about installed nautilus extensions, this info is useful only for system administrator, so, it belongs to package's description or /usr/share/doc/nautilus-admin/README.Debian

2. Prompting "every" user instead of system administrator violates Debian policy, see www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintscriptprompt

Prompting must be done by *communicating through a program, such as debconf*, which conforms to the Debian Configuration Management Specification, version 2 or higher.
