debconf: new changes from Debian require merging

[Merge-o-Matic]

New changes from Debian require merging into Ubuntu.

Some, if not all, of this work has been done automatically;
however the changes should be reviewed before signing and
uploading.

The new source package, along with various patches to aid
your review are available at:

        http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/ongoing-merge/debconf/

In particular see the REPORT file for details.

If this is the first time you have received one of these
bugs, or are just unsure what to do, see:

debconf (1.4.52) unstable; urgency=low

  * Colin Watson:
    - Lower-case the field name passed to METAGET, since the template
      database stores fields that way.
    - If a template name ending in -C is requested (e.g. via METAGET),
      return the untranslated template regardless of the locale.
    - Strip off DOS line endings in debconf-set-selections.
    - Autoflush stdout in debconf-communicate so that stdout can be a pipe.
    - Clean up stray newlines in DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf-communicate
      output.
    - Add read and write keyword arguments to debconf.py:Debconf.__init__(),
      to allow using this module with a debconf-communicate subprocess
      rather than having to re-exec the current process inside a frontend.
  * Debconf translations:
    - Vietnamese added. Closes: #313509
  * Programs translations:
    - Romanian updated. Closes: #303804
