Package: nodm
Severity: minor

Hi 

Currently the debconf question about enabling nodm is only shown at
medium priority. This means that it will not be shown by default. 

Thibaut Girka, my GSoC student, is currently preparing a smartphone task
which will include nodm. On smartphones the users most probably want to
enable nodm. Therefore this question should be shown on default priority
installs.

I think the question should not only have priority high for smartphones
but for all installations. I already think it's kind of strange to not
enable a package by default, although I understand the reasons for doing
it the way it currently is. But if a user installs nodm in most cases he also
wants to run it. Therefore he should at least be given to open to enable
it at install time.
