New changelog entries:
* "Change directory to / before executing maintainer scripts" from 1.5.62
was too intrusive due to changing Debconf::ConfModule, and broke some
existing maintainer scripts that e.g. ran ucf with relative paths.
Instead, just chdir to / before running maintainer scripts in
dpkg-reconfigure and chdir back afterwards (closes: #608648).
* In the Gnome frontend, hide the cancel button, and prompt for
confirmation when the close button is pressed (closes: #501767).
