Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I've just upgraded with update-manager from edgy to feisty. During the dist upgrade, some of the packages asks questions about the configuration files (substitute or keep, etc...) and the installation of the subsequent packages stops. This requires the user to check if the process is waiting for an answer (and it will take much longer to complete).
I think the upgrade should be non-stop and only in the end it should ask the questions.

Thanks for your bugreport.
What kind of questions did it ask? About changed configuration files? Or debconf questions (general questions asked by the package)?
Thanks,
Michael
