            "content": "This program is responsible for selecting default wordlist.\n\nIf --show-choices is used will just output a list of available choices to STDERR and exit.\nSTDOUT cannot be used, this program loads debconf and debconf captures STDOUT.\n\nIf --set-default is used, program will try to get a single regexp match from available\nchoices, failing if not.  Will try case dependent match first, then case independent.\n\nIf --set-default is not used this program will make debconf always ask the shared question\nabout the default wordlist to be used in your system according to the installed ones.\n\nIn both cases, will do the appropriate settings if needed.\n\nCalls internally update-default-wordlist.\n",
