Bug#464103: sasl2-bin nags pointlessly about backups on every upgrade

[Steve Langasek]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-17
Severity: important

The debconf .config script is sasl2-bin currently does:

case "$1" in
        configure)
                db_reset cyrus-sasl2/backup-sasldb2
                ok=''
                while [ ! "$ok" ]; do
                        db_input medium cyrus-sasl2/backup-sasldb2 || true
                        db_go

                        db_get cyrus-sasl2/backup-sasldb2
                        if [ "$RET" ]; then
                                ok=1
                        fi
                done
                ;;
[...]

This causes a debconf question to be presented about upgrading to newer
database formats *every* *time* the package is upgraded.  Please fix this.
Either you shouldn't be calling db_reset, or you should be calling db_input
conditionally based on the value of $2 (which is set for debconf .config
scripts the same way as for postinst scripts, IIRC).
