Justification: breaks 'pbuilder build' for woody packages that build-depend on debhelper
I have a system that has pbuilder installed which provides me with an up to
date woody chroot (using up to date sources
deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
):
pbuilder update --distribution woody
pbuilder login --distribution woody
In this environment, I get strange behaviour from apt:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.

Er, how is this strange? This is what you get if you ask for something
impossible. It looks like (your) debconf, debconf-utils and debhelper have
mutually exclusive dependencies.
You might try:
apt-get install debconf debconf-utils debhelper
And you may be able to better understand the exact nature of the problem.
> [up to date pbuilder chroot of woody]
Er, no it isn't. Debconf in woddy is 1.0.32, you have 1.1.10 installed.
Looks to me like you are trying to mix woody and sid package in a manner
that is not possible.
