I don't think so. afaict bothh the go and perl versions build a massive string and pass it as a single value to debconf. go: https://sources.debian.org/src/adequate/0.16.5/debconf.go/#L22 perl: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/adequate/-/blob/26c921bb34852764d3456514d3300bf8c0d25a48/adequate#L185 I can't reproduce the issue locally, so I'd appreciate if you'd modify either version to print how long is the string that is passed to debconf. my inclination would be for adequate to truncate results beyond a certain limit (but I welcome other suggestions too). thanks, Serafeim
