[can-not-install] prompt in postinst

[Michael Vogt]

Binary package hint: tcpquota

Found while doing a install test:

Setting up tcpquota (1.6.15-12) ...

The package must be reconfigured for your host to be able to
work propperly. You have to tell it which SQL server to use, and
where to find it etc...

What protocol do you use to connect to the Internet?
  1. Static ISDN You always have the same IP assigned, using dialup ISDN
  2. Static Ethernet You always have the same IP assigned, using permanent ethernet
  3. Dynamic PPP You get a different IP every time, using dialup PPP
  0. Quit You can do this later with /usr/lib/tcpquota/tcpquotaconfig

[] ?

The package should use debconf instead of direct prompting on the terminal.

Cheers,
 Michael

What is considered local networks, ie, what networks should we ignore?
Use space separated list of network addresses (ex: '42.42.0.0 192.168.0.0')
