Bug#278566: reopen



reopen 278566
thanks

It turns out that reverting Christian's change does not fix the problem
in apt-setup. Christian's change was indeed buggy, but the buggy
behavior was not that described in this bug report.

The bug here is that apt-setup (and tzsetup) use ask_q functions, which
try to allow for preseeding by not unsetting the seen flag before
displaying a question. This works ok the first time they are run, but if
they are re-selected in the first base-config run, the questions are not
redisplayed.

Perhaps the way to fix this is to make ask_q unset the seen flag after
asking the question. Then preseeding will still work since the question
should only be asked once then, and re-running apt-setup should also
work since seen questions will be marked as not seen.
