The fix is probably simple, move the argument splitting from confmodule
to the individual commands. This will change the API of the command
functions though. Since commands.h et.al. are included in the -dev
package, I guess we need to increase SOVERSION too. Bleagh.

Maybe we should do some thinking and decide exactly which header files
need to be in the -dev package. debconfclient.h obviously. frontend.h
and whatever the frontends need? Damn, looking at text.c that's a lot.
:(

But I don't see why confmodule.h and commands.h need to be there.
