Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.58
Severity: important
It appears that using debconf in a preinst or postinst script causes
debconf templates to be loaded automagically. However, since version
4.4.1-1~exp1 the linux-image-* packages only use debconf in the prerm
script. In the case where the script asks a question, debconf does
not find the template and the prerm script fails.
The manual page for debconf-loadtemplate says it should never be used
from maintainer scripts, so I don't see how we're supposed to make
this work.
Ben.
