Package: debconf Version: 1.5.58 Severity: important It appears that using debconf in a preinst or postinst script causes debconf templates to be loaded automagically. However, since version 4.4.1-1~exp1 the linux-image-* packages only use debconf in the prerm script. In the case where the script asks a question, debconf does not find the template and the prerm script fails. The manual page for debconf-loadtemplate says it should never be used from maintainer scripts, so I don't see how we're supposed to make this work.
