Perhaps Dimitri has set:
|-------/var/lib/dpkg/info/debconf.templates--------
| Template: debconf/showold
| Type: boolean
| Default: false
| Description: Show all old questions again and again?
| Debconf normally only asks you any given question once. Then it
| remembers your answer and never asks you that question again. If
| you prefer, debconf can ask you questions over and over again, each
| time you upgrade or reinstall a package that asks them.
