[Bug 1055793] [NEW] During upgrade, debconf asks about a modified file after an LTS upgrade

[Yann Dìnendal]

Public bug reported:

During an upgrade from Precise to Quantal, I got a debconf prompt asking if I want to replace a configuration file.
But the difference was between 'Prompt=normal' and 'prompt=normal' (capitalization).
I didn't edit this file manually, and I remember having seen this prompt on another computer, so it means that when the option to see all upgrades (instead of just LTS ones) is checked, it is wrote in a different way from what has been set as default for Quantal.
So either debconf should not bother me about a capitalisation difference, or the default config file of Quantal should be written the same way as what is written by the update-manager's properties window.
Sorry, I don't remember the name of the package with this prompt, so I'm guessing it was update-manager.
