Do you perchance have a newer debconf version installed?
Actually, debconf 0.9.81 (testing) requires perl-base (>= 5.6.1-5) which leads to a great-big upgrade snowball. I was hoping that there might be a way to massage the source package into compiling and installing without having to upgrade much else. I know that there's a new file in the source deb called debian/config that calls for this ConfModule module. It's really more perl than I'm qualified to evaluate, but it looks like I might get by just replacing it with an empty file or something (yuck), since it's purpose seems to be to *configure* postfix, something that I can pretty much do by hand.
