I've found a solution for this and it boils down to making the default values for all debconf values empty and only getting the setting from the environment if it hasn't been set yet. This has the added effect that preseeding of these settings should also work better (see #475830). I've tested this with dpkg-preconfigure and dpkg-reconfigure and everything seems ok. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
