I don't know the first thing about this package; presumably this
happened during a dist-upgrade to current testing; stangely, though, I
can't find it mentioned in my dpkg.log file..
I just caused it to happen while purging the *sarge* version:

And reinstalling:

I *didn't* get the message while dist upgrading to testing, but I
*did* see it while purging 20051102-2 (current testing):

So the problem still affects the testing version, and is (sometimes?)
evidenced uring a dist-upgrade. The bug would be that the upgrade
should be quiet if at all possible for a stable=>stable dist-upgrade,
and that purge should be quiet too.
I don't know how possible it is, though, to fix the postinst from the
stable release. But at least purge needs to be fixed for etch; I see
that 20060126-1 is now in sid; is *also* has a dist-upgrade problem
(from testing):

And the purge one too:
