Public bug reported:

During a natty -> oneiric upgrade I see the following conffile prompt:

Setting up base-files (6.4ubuntu3) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/debian_version ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/issue ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/issue.net ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/lsb-release ...

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:

    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
