Bug description:
[Impact]
Some packages stall on installing. These are packages that generate multiple
debconf prompts (the prompts may be empty and so not user visible, e.g.
gconf2-common).
[Test Case]
1. Remove gconf2-common (warning, may uninstall packages like gnome-terminal):
$ sudo apt purge gconf2-common
2. Download the debian package of Chrome from www.google.com/chrome.
3. Install the package (browser will prompt, or double click on package in
Nautilus).
Expected result:
Chrome installs correctly.
Observed result:
The installation hangs on 51%.
[Regression Potential]
The debconf conde was modified to support multiple requests. This could
expose other debconf issues or break other .deb install code.
