Package: debconf Version: 1.5.59 Severity: normal It appears that the implementation of SETTITLE immediately performs substitutions in the specified template, so that later substitutions using SUBST are ignored. If there are any substitutions in the template, their values should be set with SUBST before SETTITLE; otherwise stale values will be used.
Please either document this ordering requirement in debconf-devel(7) or defer substitutions in the title template until the same point as substitutions in the body template.
