I could not reproduce this problem.  I created a minimal squeeze chroot with
pbuilder, installed the three open-cobol related packages, modified the apt
configuration to add wheezy, ran "apt-get update" and ran "apt-get
dist-upgrade".  No failure.

Suggestions on how to reproduce the problem ?

I guess that this is why you assigned this bug to open-cobol, and not to apt or
to gcc.

I'm adding the APT Development Team in cc because the manpage apt.conf(5)
invites me to inform the APT team about this problem about Immediate-Configure.
