[d-i]: cdebconf safe to install? (newbie question)

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

I'm trying to build debian-installer, seeing if I can get to the point
where 'make demo' works. At the moment the initial apt-get run fails
because I don't have cdebconf installed on the build system. (I'm
assuming I'm starting in the right place by running 'fakeroot make
TYPE=net' in the build directory.)

The cdebconf package description has a warning that it will break
debconf if installed on a live system; per the fix for #83318, is this
still true, or can I go ahead and install it? If it will still break,
I'll put together a chroot.

Thanks,
