I'm sorry for the very long delay in replying to this! I don't quite see the link with forwarding, unless you're connecting over SSH. I just tested the debconf UI in a bookworm VM running Wayland, and things seemed to work fine (it used Xwayland until I realized I had to pass the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable through sudo, but that was the only hitch). Is it possible that this has been fixed by something other than debconf in the intervening years? Thanks, -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
