I am hitting this bug right now on feisty updating x11-common from 7.2-0ubuntu1 to I guess ...ubuntu2.
Here is an extract of my ps tree while having Debconf asking a new priority (other debconf bug, there is no text entry to enter a new priority): paul 5868 5057 0 11:14 ? 00:00:02 kdesu -u root -c adept_updater root 5873 5868 0 11:14 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/bin/sudo -u root /usr/bin/kdesu_stub - root 5879 5868 0 11:14 pts/3 00:00:00 /usr/bin/kdesu_stub - root 5882 5879 0 11:14 ? 00:00:00 sh -c adept_updater root 5883 5882 14 11:14 ? 00:07:41 adept_updater root 5949 5883 0 11:44 pts/4 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true root 5950 5949 0 11:44 pts/4 00:00:04 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt root 5954 5950 0 11:44 pts/4 00:00:00 [dpkg-preconfigu] <defunct> root 6034 5950 0 11:45 pts/4 00:00:00 /bin/sh /tmp/x11-common.config.59553 configure 1:7.2-0ubuntu1
As I understand Jonty's report, the bug is not really in x11-common, but in debconf. So I'll move it there.
