Package: dist
Version: 1:3.5-30-2
Severity: important

Because dist's postinst script runs with "set -e" (as it should), the
statement

    retval=$(db_input low  shared/news/organization)

(on line 116) can cause the whole script to fail with status 30 if the
question has been skipped for any reason, such as having been seen.
I'd suggest adding || true either inside or outside the parentheses.
Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
