Binary package hint: x11-common

When dpkg is installation x11-common, when debconf is using kde, something like:

Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104, <GEN1> line 4.
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104, <GEN1> line 9.

happens, and a debconf window pops up saying "Incorrect nice value. Please enter an integer between -20 and 19". Only cancel can be clicked on this window, and doing so means the installation fails (which can affect a huge number of packages.)

This can be solved by making debconf's method dialog (that's all I know for sure, it may work with the other methods.)
