How is debconf configured? How did you run the upgrade? Was this some automated upgrade with frontend dialog that didn't have a controlling tty? I've tried to use the fronends dialog, readline and noninteractive. Neither of them show this problem for me. The results I got were: - dialog: it's not showing me the default list of services to restart. Just pressing enter doesn't restart anything. I believe this to be a bug in debconf. However it does properly configure the package. - readline: Works as expected - noninteractive: Restarts the services, but doesn't show the message of why.
