debconf-2.0 was added to policy as a virtual package in 2002 and has been provided by debconf since 2003. In early 2004, dh_installdebconf

it generates for packages using debhelper.
Hmmm, I'm using dh_installdebconf in all my packages but there is
no such thing as adding something to the dependencies.  Did I missed
something?

on debconf without a "| debconf-2.0". If your package is on this list,

I expect new upstream soon and will change with new upload.

  cdd
Changed in CVS.

  pcd2html
Fixed.

  zope-epoz
Fixed.

  zope-extfile
  zope-textindexng2
Need to sort out issues with general zope packaging - packages
in preparation.

Hmm, there are also a few packages that depend on
"debconf | debconf-2.0, ..., debconf", but I don't have a good regex
to catch those yet and am unsure how dpkg handles them anyway.
BTW, why isn't there a lintian check which reports this problem?

Kind regards
