Binary package hint: checkbox
On upgrade, I get:
Setting up checkbox (0.5) ...
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf, but
the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
script should be fixed to not stop debconf before calling ucf,
and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to using
old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!
Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.

I don't think I've ever modified these files by hand, so I shouldn't have been prompted; although it's hard now to tell for sure whether this was the case, so feel free to ignore this part of the bug. The real thing I'm reporting is the usage message given by ucf.
Confirming (including that the prompting is spurious - I definitely never modified those files.
