I was expecting that. And I disagree with both the bug being assigned
to debconf....and the bug report itself.

debconf doesn't only have one interface (here the "dialog" one,
obviously, in text mode with windows and pseudo checkboxes). In the
most popular one, choices can be selected by hitting Space, but in
some others (the graphical ones) theyre selected by clocking on the
wanted choice. On some others (full text), choice are selected by
hitting numbers, etc.

The text of a given debconf template can therefore NOT make reference
to a given interface .

So, I basically think that this bug report is "wontfix" at best....or
should be closed.
