Every time there is the smallest change in upstream config files, the
config system gets invoked to ask terminal-based questions on what to
do.

The "show differences" options spin CPU for a good 30 seconds before
eventually they run.

The "just give me a shell" option in fact just prints
 No terminal, and no DISPLAY set, can't fork shell.

and is therefore equally useless.

I can't even Ctrl-Z the program to fix it myself.


Is this just happening with dovecot or all apps that ask configuration questions? Because it is actually a package called debconf that handles this and it seems to be misconfigured.
