This is caused by the PAM service restart trigger. (A debconf prompt I think)

No debconf prompt presented for PAM or the libc6 service restart. The upgrade continues in background, but there's no way to control it.

As discussed on IRC, we want this for beta 1 for upgraders, but there's no need to worry about getting it on the images.

This bug was fixed in the package pam - 1.1.2-2ubuntu6

---------------
pam (1.1.2-2ubuntu6) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/libpam0g.postinst: according to Kubuntu developers, kdm no longer
    keeps libpam loaded persistently at runtime, so it's not necessary to
    force a kdm restart on ABI bump. Which is good, since restarting kdm
    now seems to also log users out of running sessions, which we rather
    want to avoid. LP: #744944.

Same issue applies also to the libc preinst upgrade restart check. It's not clear if kdm needs to be restarted when the NSS ABI changes; as a stopgap for beta, we can avoid restarting kdm on upgrade.

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.13-0ubuntu11

---------------
eglibc (2.13-0ubuntu11) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/rules.d/build.mk: when building 32-bit biarch libraries for
    64-bit archs, ship an /etc/ld.so.conf/biarch.conf config snippet adding
    /lib32,/usr/lib32 to the path; these are already included in the path
    for the biarch build itself, but the biarch ld.so may be Replaced: by
    the multiarch libc which does not have built-in support for these
    non-standard paths.
  * debian/rules.d/debhelper.mk: the ld.so.conf snippet isn't included in
    all of the alternate libc builds, only in libc6-i386 and libc6-powerpc;
    so we add this by hand to the dh_install invocation for these packages.
    LP: #741949.
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.preinst: don't restart kdm on upgrade. It may
    no longer be required, and in any case the restart will break running
    sessions so we want to avoid this for beta1. LP: #744944.

eglibc (2.13-0ubuntu10) natty; urgency=low

  * Provide compatibility symlinks for .o files in /usr/lib. LP: #744908.
  * debian/control.in/libc: Remove the Multi-Arch: same attribute.
