Comment 0 for bug 1372673

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/579075:

Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.7-2
Severity: wishlist

I noticed that man-db starts debconf when triggered. Given how
often triggers run, I think that should be optimised. Ie, move
the $1 = triggered test above the confmodule sourcing.
