Hi,

please fail more verbose in preinst.

When debconf is set to non-interactive and the following question is
asked,

Name: linux-image-2.6.18-4-vserver-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-4-vserver-686
Default: true
Description:  Do you want to abort now?

preinst fails with:

Ok, Aborting
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/
linux-image-2.6.18-3-vserver-k7_2.6.18-7_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

This should imho be more verbose, i.e. why does it abort?.

Regards,
Carsten
