Package: autofs Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-1 Followup-For: Bug #295477 I ran into this too. In general, maintainer scripts that use debconf and start background processes (particularly daemons that will run indefinitely) should first call db_stop to avoid trouble. However, AFAICT, autofs's postinst does not really need debconf at all, so it should suffice to stop sourcing /usr/share/debconf/confmodule.
