Bug Description
During the installation of Dapper Drake (from current as of this writing):
Configuration of the wvdial package attempts to probe serial ports for a modem. It sat for a good 5 minutes trying to talk to ttyS0, on which there is nothing attached. I finally gave up and went over to the console on tty2 and killed the PID associated with wvdialconfig, not really curious as to how long it would take to time out.

Suffering the same problem here. I can't keep ubuntu-desktop because it hauls in wvdial and breaks:
Setting up wvdial (1.55-1ubuntu1) ...
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
