Bug#537522: dpkg-reconfigure does not run prerm, postinst



Package: cdebconf
Version: 0.146
Severity: normal

Perl dpkg-reconfigure runs the prerm upgrade and the postinst
configure, so as to simulate a page upgrade and cause the
reconfiguration to take effect. cdebconf is missing this.

Also, perl dpkg-reconfigure has a nasty hack to detect
prerm/postinst scripts using debconf, so as to avoid them
starting another copy of debconf (which would contend with
it writing to the DB). This might need to be brought over as well.
