1.2.3-3 fixes this. In the mean time, you can Ctrl-C out of the postinst script, and apt-get will either set it up correctly the second time through , or you can select the configure option from dselect, or run: dpkg --pending --configure > Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. > > The server was not started.

It's because sshd doesn't close its file descriptors, which while wrong didn't used to cause problems, but debconf notices and hangs. Cheers, Phil.
