Dear Maintainer,
"await" triggers are run before a package is configured. If B activates A,
then A's trigger code in the postinst must be run before A can be configured.
Triggers do not specify a ordering dependency however, so apt can very well
have A in a state where it is not configurable, and installing B then fails.
This is a limitation of triggers: They are not exposed in Packages files, so
we don't see them.
What this means is that packages with await triggers either need to have all
triggering packages depend on them (e.g. B Depends A), or they need to be
moved to noawait.

>From my quick look at fusiondirectory, there seems to be no particular reason
for triggers to be in "await" state, so the included patch specifies the
triggers explicitly as "noawait":
* debian/fusiondirectory.triggers: Be specific about using interest-noawait
for the triggers -- there's no need to block in awaiting the triggers for
locale, plugins updates. (LP: #1780996)
Thanks for considering the patch.
