Bug#138045: apt-utils: apt-extracttemplates is not infrequently used

[Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>]

Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor

 This package contains some infrequently used APT utility programs such
 as apt-ftparchive, apt-sortpkgs and apt-extracttemplates.
 .
 apt-extracttemplates is used by debconf to prompt for configuration
 questions before installation.
[...]

apt-extracttemplates seems to be in fact quite popular, judging by the
number of bogus bug reports about lack of preconfiguration.
