Thanks for reopening, but policy says this:
Packages should try to minimize the amount of prompting they need to
do, and they should ensure that the user will only ever be asked each
question once.
So the package is violating a "should" directive in policy and
everything this bug deserves is a wishlist? This is really disappointing.
Anyway, in case it helps, the fix could be something like the attached patch.
Please be warned that this is *completely* untested, it's just
something that could serve as the basis for the real fix. Do not
forget to test the following scenarios:
* Clean installs.
* Upgrades from wheezy
* Upgrades from current testing to the new version.
* Package removals.
So, this is only a suggestion, but in fact I don't see that the real
fix would need to deviate a lot from it. Note that the "continue" word
here is essential because we don't want the file to be managed by UCF
at all (well, that's the idea).
