Hi,

your bug number came up on irc and did lead to some discussion.

In conclusion there are a two things:

1.) you are abusing debconf

23:57 < doogie> data: Debian.News
23:57 < doogie> or some such
23:57 < doogie> do not do upgrades notices with debconf
23:57 < doogie> deb(ian) conf(iguration)

If the user has no option to abort the upgrade then that notice should
not be done this way. If it gives an abort option it must be in
preinst (and pre-depend on debconf).

2.) no template

There seems to be no text for the upgrade notice in the source or
debs:

sqlite3-3.2.2% ls debian/libsqlite3-0/DEBIAN 
control  md5sums  postinst*  postrm*  preinst*  shlibs


Installing libsqlite3-0 and simulating an upgrade just fails silently
without any notice:

sqlite3-3.2.2% sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/libsqlite3-0.postinst upgrade 1.2.3
sqlite3-3.2.2% echo $?
10
