Package: boinc-client
Version: 5.4.11-5, 5.4.11-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy violation

hi,

while running archive wide piuparts tests your package failed on purge
because of debconf beeing unavailable during postrm:

  Purging configuration files for boinc-client ...
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/boinc-client.postrm: line 7: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing boinc-client (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   boinc-client

the full log can be found here:

 http://people.debian.org/~abi/piuparts/boinc-client

please be sure to use a conditional call to debconf:

 if [ -f /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
    . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
 fi

bye,
    - michael
