Bug Description
Some packages expose parameters for configuration at installation time, the values of which may be pre-populated by the administrator for customised unattended installation. Currently, in order to discover these parameters, I download the package (or the source package) and manually inspect the debian/templates file, although there may be a better way that I am not aware of. It would be nice to have these templates documented in an accessible format on this website instead. All the necessary information for each package is contained within the templates file itself, including localised translations, as in the attached example Nullmailer templates file.
