+debconf
+-------
+
+``debconf(7)`` is the configuration system for Debian packages.
+It enables you to preconfigure packages before their installation.
+
+This plugin lets you specify debconf answers directly in the manifest.
+You should only specify answers for packages that will be installed; the plugin
+does not check that this is the case.
+
+Settings
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``debconf`` plugin directly takes an inline string:::
+
+  plugins:
+    debconf: >-
+      d-i pkgsel/install-language-support boolean false
+      popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
+
