[Bug 410696] [NEW] dpkg configuration of dibbler-client not working properly

[Michael Helmling]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dibbler-client

While upgrading my network to ipv6 I've installed the dibbler dhcpv6
client on several machines, mostly running hardy heron. During
installation I noticed the same misbehavior on all of the machines:

- Installation hangs with "Generating /etc/dibbler/client.conf-dpkg-new...", there is no more output, but after pressing "Enter" dpkg continues
- dpkg offers me checkboxes to select if I want to receive dns-server and/or domain information with dhcpv6. Although I select both of them, the generated config file only has domain enabled:

# Defaults for dibbler-client.
# installed at /etc/dibbler/client.conf by the maintainer scripts

# 8 (Debug) is most verbose. 7 (Info) is usually the best option
log-level 7

# To perform stateless (i.e. options only) configuration, uncomment
# this line below and remove any "ia" keywords from interface definitions
# stateless

iface eth0 {
# ask for address
    ia

# ask for options
#   option dns-server
#   option domain
#   option dns-server
    option domain
#    option ntp-server
#    option time-zone
#    option sip-server
#    option sip-domain
#    option nis-server
#    option nis-domain
#    option nis+-server
#    option nis+-domain

It's also quite strange that those options appear twice there, so I
assume the dpkg script in this package is somewhat buggy?
