That just indicates you're using an old debconf, because the Perl
modules have moved since and the old ones are deprecated. This is really
a problem with testing being hideously inconsistent at the moment; if
you're running testing because you like it being mostly stable, please
wait a while before upgrading (i.e. until the new debconf gets in).

Not usually, and if libpaperg is upgraded then you'll have to do it
again. :) Sometimes these things are necessary with semi-stable
distributions, though.
