I *believe* that I've finally got this fixed. However, I never could reproduce it myself, and the change to debconf-apt-progress verges on a rewrite of its main loop, so I would very much appreciate testing by anyone who could reproduce this. Tomorrow's daily build of Gutsy's alternate images, or Tribe 4 if you prefer, should include this fix.

debconf (1.5.14) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Retry flock() on EINTR. Failing that, print the errno if flock() fails
    so that we have a better chance of working out why.
  * Install Python confmodule for python2.5 as well.
  * Add confmodule bindings for the DATA command.
  * Somebody looking at confmodule(3) probably actually wants
    debconf-devel(7). Add a reference in SEE ALSO.
  * Make sure that apt status commands and debconf protocol commands under
    debconf-apt-progress are properly interleaved. Closes: #425397

  [ Debconf Translations ]
  * Marathi added. Closes: #416805
  * Basque updated. Closes: #418897

  [ Programs Translations ]

  * Punjabi added. Closes: #427327
  * Basque updated. Closes: #418902

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Increase selectspacer to 13 for dialog. May be needed due to changes in
    new versions of dialog.
  * Update url to web site in README.

  [ Trent Buck ]
  * Fix bash_completion syntax. Closes: #425676
