Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bugzilla

update of bugzilla through package manager brings up debconf, asking "What 
would you like to do about params?" with a drop down list. Selecting an option, 
in this case "show a side by side difference between the versions" and clicking 
forward gives the next window. However that option was chosen erroneously but 
the back button is disabled. 
Clicking cancel lets the package manager process continue but gives the 
apparent crash which ubuntu has asked me to report.

Ideal behaviour is to allow the back button to work, or to be allowed to
gracefully defer the configuration process. The question "What would you
like to do about params?" is also clumsy and doesn't make it clear what
is actually being asked. A better phrasing (if I am interpreting
correctly is) would be something like "The parameters for the updated
version of bugzilla differ from the old version. How would you like to
deal with this?".
