No, the postinst is fine; the failure is in the config script which it
calls, whose error exit propagates to the postinst.

An exit code of 30 happens if the message isn't displayed to the user.
Since the input happens at critical priority in debconf, the obvious
explanation would have been that you were using the non-interactive
frontend.  The config script is buggy anyway, since the question will only
be displayed /once/, and db_input will be called /twice/ during an apt
upgrade...  I just don't understand why the pre-configuration also failed in
your log.
