yes, you're correct. debconfs multiselect seperates the items by commas,
and this comma needs to be stripped. i fixed this for the sid version
now. the upload will close this bugreport.

unfortunately a fix for sarge is unlikely, as it's a small packaging
bug, and only security fixes are allowed to enter sarge (it's stable, so
it will stay as is).

the interesting point is, that i know several other packages which have
the same bug. i'll check all of them and report bugs.

thanks for your report.
