[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I can reproduce this bug doing an install in greek. Moreover, I can
reproduce it with the teletype debconf frontend, so it's not a problem
with whiptail. It seems that this one menu item for MTA configuration
must be mangled somehow in debconf, and so debconf returns something
base-config is unable to deal with. What's mangling it, I don't know --
it could be perl's unicode handling or something like that.
