Bug Description
1. I run synaptic.
2. I select the "adduser" package in the package list (it shows the package
description below...).
3. I select menu "Package", option "Configure...".
4. I get the following error dialog box:
Cannot start configuration tool!
You have to install the required package 'libgnome2-perl'.
If previously I installed the libgnome2-perl package, all works ok.
I think "libgnome2-perl" package (and its dependancies) must be installed by
default on a freshly installed system. I know this packages come from
"universe", but I think they must go into "main", because of their utility for
the debconf subsystem.
Thanks.

libgnome2-perl will be added to main. I'll try to get it installed by default
too, but the opionions seems to be not in favour of this.
