Glad to see I wasn't crazy...
I reported this as a bug some time ago, but the maintainer was never
able to reproduce it. My current working theory is that it is a
result of having both debconf and debconf-tiny packages installed; I
cannot definitively state that I have ever seen it happen except when
installing debconf and removing debconf-tiny in a single apt-get.
