The Copy driver expects to find a Template field in each item it's copying, which is true for config databases but isn't true for template databases. Nevertheless, it does appear to copy the database successfully: diff outputs nothing. Is the right fix just to try the item name if the Template field is missing, or to have some switch for the type of database being copied? (That said, I'm not sure how debconf-copydb could know whether to set such a switch or not. A command-line flag would be nasty.)
