The problem is that all drivers use Cache::shutdown except File driver.
And after a shutdown, all items are not dirty except using File driver.

It is not a bug, but if we re-init the driver after a shutdown, there will be
items in dirty state but they should not be.

So if we don't use Cache:shutdown, we have to reset the dirty flag in
File::shutdown by adding this line in File.pm:

foreach my $item (sort keys %{$this->{cache}}) {
  next unless defined $this->{cache}->{item}; # skip deleted
  $this->{format}->write($fh, $this->{cache}->{$item}, item);
+ $this->{dirty}->{$item}=0 if defined $this->{dirty}->{$item};
}

and the unit tests will work ;) :
./test_debconf.pl Test::Debconf::DbDriver::FileTest
.....
OK (5 tests)
