Please stop trolling. We have a bug and we're working on transitioning to a
new model of dealing with things. The work is incomplete, but then again so
is Lenny. We're working on various solutions to make this far better than
the old dpkg-reconfigure scripts, but you'll have to bear with it for a
while. If you can't handle running software in development, please don't
run unstable and save us all the hassle.
