Bug Description
[IMPACT]
By default rcconf doesn't work unless users install dialog, which is not necessary because whiptail is installed by default in Ubuntu systems.
[TESTCASE]
* Install rcconf package
$ sudo apt-get install rcconf
* Try to run it
$ sudo rcconf
* It displays "rcconf needs dialog or whiptail" and fail to run
* Update with the -proposed package
* Rerun rcconf
$ sudo rcconf
* It should run the program
[Regression Potential]
None, it's a change to the whiptail path. However if the whiptail path changes again, it'll broke rcconf
[Other Info]
This change only affects Ubuntu, since the Ubuntu whiptail version lives in /bin while the debian version in /usr/bin
