I have no idea.  It's fresh install using the rc1 debian-installer, and
then aptitude to install a lot of packages based on a list from another
system.  I haven'd done anything special, so this is definitely a bug,
unfortunately it looks like the culprit isn't going to be easy to find.

It was definitely a package (or aptitude) since I haven't done anything
special to the system other than install packages.  The hard part is
figuring out what package is at fault.
