This is because of two issues:

 - the configuration script requires 'ifconfig'. I though that would be
   essential but it seems that now this belongs in the net-tools package
   which is important Priority only.
 - the directory where the md5sums does not get create properly and the
   postinst script fails.

I will fix both of these and upload a new package to unstable. Thanks for
reporting these issues.
