That's right, you can suggest whatever you want.  On the other hand if a
package is good enough to be suggested than I see no reason to not upload
it as fast as possible, but this should not stop an mediawiki upload.

I'm using mediawiki-1.4.4-2 successfully for several weeks.

The only feature I would like very much would be if a

       /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

file would be created using debconf instead of using the configuration
web interface which might also include some further configuration items
for instance

       $wgDisableUploads = false ;

This would be very convinient.  But this wishlist feature should not
stop an upload - it's just an idea.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
