 The fix will be in the next upload. 
=========================================================================
reset diff question after use so contents are not written to disk

Debconf does not use world readable "temporary internal files" as Manoj
hypothesises. Data is only written to disk if it is left in the debconf
database when the frontend (ucf) exits.

Tightening the permissions on the debconf database would break several
things including use of debconf-show in reportbug.
