I have seen this before.  First, make sure you are using the absolutely
latest ucf from unstable, just in case.

Any, I recall ucf has issues with debconf. Ask the maintainer to db_stop
(tell debconf to stop) before calling ucf in any way, maybe this will fix
the bug.  Actually, calling any external program that might need user input
before a db_stop is an absolute NONO in my book...
