Subject: Bug#713823: debconf-set-selections complains on error lines in d-g-s output

Package: debconf-utils
Version: 1.5.50
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I try to feed debconf-get-selections' output to
debconf-set-selections, the latter complains if a line looks like:
linux-image-3.9-1-amd64 linux-image-3.9-1-amd64/postinst/ignoring-ramdisk       error

Either d-s-s should handle this input, or d-g-s should not create this
output. Or am I missing something?

Greetings
Marc
