At the end of the installation, the install process will continue to output the following until you kill it manually:

had the same problem dist-upgrading to debian wheezy from squeeze
the faxsetup script looks for the configuration file /etc/hylafax/config, while I had /etc/hylafax/config.ttyS0
adding a symlink from config.ttyS0 to config solved the issue.
as far as i recall i have always used official packages only.
