Hi,
This is not really a serious bug:
,----[ Policy document ]
| 6.3. Controlling terminal for maintainer scripts
| ------------------------------------------------
|
| The maintainer scripts are guaranteed to run with a controlling
| terminal and can interact with the user. If they need to prompt for
| passwords, do full-screen interaction or something similar you should
| do these things to and from `/dev/tty', since `dpkg' will at some
| point redirect scripts' standard input and output so that it can log
| the installation process. Likewise, because these scripts may be
| executed with standard output redirected into a pipe for logging
| purposes, Perl scripts should set unbuffered output by setting `$|=1'
| so that the output is printed immediately rather than being buffered.
`----
The fact that kernel-package does not have these image
packages use debconf is a bug (a normal bug, so far), and I am thus
merging this report with the other "use debconf" reports.
