Comment 11 for bug 198421

debconf (1.5.42ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Gnome.pm: Do not show "Cancel" or "Close" buttons, to avoid breaking
      maintainer scripts.
  * Ubuntu's dpkg-query still uses ${PackageSpec} for multiarch support
    rather than the newer ${binary:Package}. Support this as well for now.
