Bug Description

ddclient is after installing asking the user for some infromations about the dyndns service.

After giving asnwers to all this questions the ddclient configuration file is in this state:

"
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

protocol=dyndns2
use=if, if=wlan0
server=www.dnsdynamic.org
login=melchiaros
password=''
virtual-tutorial.dnsdynamic.com
"

Following http://www.dnsdynamic.org/api.php

it there should be some more information asked for good user feeling.

Please see this as wish.

Closing stale bug report as invalid.

ddclient 3.9.1-7 (not yet released) will have many debconf improvements. Please wait for that version to be released. If the debconf questions in that version are still insufficient, please reopen.
