This is a problem with the package debconf.  Probably you don't have
debconf installed, in which case a simple apt-get install debconf would fix
things.  

The other possiblilty (as I see it) is that the debconf on testing is older
than the debconf which libpaperg is written to work with.  This seems less
likely to me, although it is a possibility.

If you do have debconf installed, and still get this error, try running:

[droundy@ludwig droundy]$ dpkg -L debconf | grep ConfModule.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Client/ConfModule.pm

If you don't get this result, then something is weird with debconf on
testing.

Hope this is helpful.
