X-Spam-Level: 

Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.49
Severity: minor

Manual page od debconf(1) reads:

  EXAMPLES
       To debug a shell script that uses debconf, you might use:

        DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf my-shell-prog

However, this call does not work:

  # DEBCONF_DEBUG="developer" debconf -ostem preinst
  debconf (developer): starting preinst
  Can't exec "preinst": No such file or directory at 
/usr/share/perl/5.8/IPC/Open3.pm line 168.
  open2: exec of preinst failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 
44

But this does:

  # DEBCONF_DEBUG="developer" debconf -ostem $(pwd)/preinst
  debconf (developer): starting /root/tmp/distro/work/debian/preinst
  debconf (developer): <-- INPUT medium stem/package_note
  debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped
  debconf (developer): <-- GO 
  debconf (developer): --> 0 ok
  debconf (developer): <-- GET stem/package_remove
  debconf (developer): --> 0 false

SUGGESTIION

Change the manual page to say that absolute paths are neede to run the
files through debconf. E.g.

        DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf /path/to/my-shell-prog
        ...
        debconf --frontend=readline sh -x /path/to/my-shell-prog

Source: debconf
Binary: debconf-english debconf-doc debconf-utils debconf-i18n debconf
Architecture: source all
Version: 1.4.50
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Changed-By: Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description: 
 debconf    - Debian configuration management system
 debconf-doc - debconf documentation
 debconf-english - small footprint English-only debconf
 debconf-i18n - full internationalization support for debconf
 debconf-utils - debconf utilities
Closes: 304332 309010 309011 309013 309698 310288
Changes: 
 debconf (1.4.50) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Colin Watson
     - Generate po/debconf.pot in sorted order by source filename, rather
       than having it be in whatever order find(1) happens to produce.
     - Implement INFO command from cdebconf, to display an out-of-band
       informative message. Closes: #304332
     - Revert stdin/stdout inversion from debconf 1.1.30; that caused the
       dialog child process to read from stdout and write to stdin (which
       miraculously happened to work, at least for terminals). Instead, avoid
       the perl warning from #155682 by restoring stdin first after the open3
       call.
     - Add progress bar support, using the cdebconf PROGRESS protocol. The
       editor and web frontend implementations are stubs.
     - Correct location of standalone template files in debconf-devel(7)
       (should be /usr/share/debconf/templates/progname.templates).
     - Extend passthrough protocol slightly to send SUBST commands for any
       substitution variables that are set for each question.
     - Translate select/multiselect defaults to the current locale when
       sending them to a passthrough UI agent, and translate the value
       returned by the UI agent back to C.
   * Joey Hess
     - debconf man page update. Closes: #309698
   * Christian Perrier
     - Man pages typos corrected. Closes: #309010, #309011, #309013
   * Programs translations
     - Italian updated. Closes: #310288
