Actually, I don't agree any more. From an strace, it looks like the
hook script's output (update-grub in my case) gets piped to debconf,
which doesn't understand the output and issues errors:
read(8, "VERSION 2.0\n", 4096) = 12
write(7, "0 2.0\n", 6) = 6
read(8, "CAPB backup\n", 4096) = 12
write(7, "0 multiselect backup\n", 21) = 21
read(8, Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub . "
Testing for an existing GRUB men"..., 4096) = 47
read(8, "found: /boot/grub/menu.lst .\n", 4096) = 29
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"testing\""..., 153) = 153
read(8, "Searching for splash image... ", 4096) = 30
read(8, "none found, skipping...\n", 4096) = 24
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"searchin"..., 133) = 133
read(8, "Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6."..., 4096) = 43
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"found\" ("..., 118) = 118
read(8, "Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6."..., 4096) = 43
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"found\" ("..., 118) = 118
read(8, "Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6."..., 4096) = 41
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"found\" ("..., 116) = 116
read(8, "Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ..."..., 4096) = 33
read(8, "done\n", 4096) = 5
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"updating"..., 116) = 116
read(8, "\n", 4096) = 1
write(7, "20 Unsupported command \"\" (full "..., 71) = 71
read(8, "", 4096) = 0
This might be the reason why most debug output isn't printed as well.
Oh yeah, and I think that STFERR in linux-image.postinst line 1102
should be STDERR.
