[Michael Prokop]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.31
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2


Fresh daily sid chroot Q/A build via FAI:

[...]

AFAICS this problem is a result of the issue addressed in revision
2438 in debconf's svn repository.

I can easily reproduce the problem, please let me know if you need
any further information.
