What is probably happening is that debconf is being removed, as the version you
have installed depends on the old (0.3) version of apt. The real bug, though,
is that ~jgg/apt contains an older version (0.5.2) than the latest unstable
(0.5.3), a somewhat broken version in fact, and no accompanying debconf.
You can, of course, download the sources from unstable and compile them.
