Today's jenkins runs showed that the debconf protocol has got out of sync. In this sequence of commands:

        db_set hw-detect/select_modules "$LIST"
        db_input medium hw-detect/select_modules || true
        db_go || exit 10 # back up

... the db_input is receiving the reply to db_set, and db_go is receiving the reply to db_input. This certainly explains the peculiar bail-out, but it doesn't yet explain why the protocol is out of sync in the first place. I'm uploading 2.11.13 with some more debugging to try to find that out.
