This looks to me like nginx-common.config and debconf have an issue
(or stumble over some underlying issue), I don't see anything about
lintian or libconfig-model-dpkg-perl (whether its lintian profiles
nor anything else) here, and I also have no idea how they would be
involved when configuring a package.

Maybe you could explain why you think libconfig-model-dpkg-perl might
be invvolved?
