Suggest solution, but I may be wrong (doesn't debconf check the seen
flag by itself???) but thedebconf debug shows:
...
debconf (developer): <-- INPUT medium tex-common/groupname_multi
debconf (developer): --> 0 question will be asked
debconf (developer): <-- GO
...
evn after the third try of dpkg-reconfigure tex-common.
