Package: ddclient
Version: 3.6.7-2
Severity: serious
Justification: 10.7.3.

I have a custom-written /etc/ddclient.conf, since the debconf
interface didn't support things I needed, but which are supported by
ddclient (or, I figured out how to do it without debconf before I
figured out how to do it with it).  My config file has multiple
stanzas for multiple hosts, yet dpkg-reconfigure ddclient has only one
host, presumably because debconf has ddclient/names with only one
host.

My understanding of the popular interpretation of relevant policy is
that packages are required to parse their config files and seed
debconf with their values, and avoid prompting the user with "whatever
they answered last time or otherwise might happen to be in the cache".
