Hi, currently cdebconf and debconf do not escape strings the same way. I plan making cdebconf replace '\n' by "\\n" instead of "%0A", but double quotes must also be escaped because the textdb driver use quoted strings. And this driver uses the routines for parsing configuration files. The main change is to skip escaped double quotes when finding string boundaries.
