Oops.  Sorry, I executed that on the wrong machine.  Here's the result
from the one which was giving trouble:

klatch:/# debconf-show xserver-common
  xserver-common/xwrapper/nice_value/error:
* xserver-common/manage_config_with_debconf: false
  xterm/xterm_needs_devpts: Console Users Only
  xserver-common/move_existing_nondebconf_config: false
  xserver-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users:
  xserver-common/xwrapper/nice_value: -10
