Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.61
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to configure the use of the noninteractive backend in
debconf.conf on a system currently running oldstable. According to the
documentation, setting:

Frontend: noninteractive

should have been sufficient, but this had no visible effect. Only when
I also added "Frontend_forced: true" did my configuration take effect.

This is not related to #738956.

Best regards
Konstantinos
