Joey has just fixed it and uploaded a new version of debconf, so hopefully we will now be rid of this issue. See #401876 for the gory details. As there originally was a combination of issues and the cause was hidden very deeply and the issue was not always reproducible, it's been a real pain and slow going to trace this. Thanks very much to the people who have contributed to tracing and solving the issue and especially to Agustin for his patience and help. Cheers, FJP
