debconf 1.5.84 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

debconf (1.5.84) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * perlcritic fixes:
    - Move "use strict" above all code.
    - Avoid declaring variables in conditional statements.
    - Don't use bareword file/directory handles.
    - Make all loop iterators lexical.
    - Don't modify $_ in list functions.
    - Use bare return rather than "return undef".
    - Avoid two-argument open.
    - Use a temporary variable rather than "return sort ...".
    - Use ":encoding(UTF-8)" in Debconf::FrontEnd::Passthrough rather than
      ":utf8", since the latter does not validate the input data.
    - Avoid string eval in a couple of places.
    - Enable warnings lexically rather than using "perl -w".
    - Use the block form of grep and map.
    - Avoid combining low- and high-precedence boolean operators.
    - Avoid comma-separated statements.
    - Avoid indirect object call syntax for "new".
  * Reformat debconf.py using pyupgrade, black, and isort.
  * Adjust shell code to pass shellcheck.
  * Fix parsing error that resulted in some nonsense in hierarchy.txt.
  * dpkg-preconfigure: Print "Extracting templates from packages" to stdout,
    not stderr (closes: #797071).  Also improves error messages if
    apt-extracttemplates fails (closes: #754123).
  * debconf-apt-progress: Handle the case of failing to exec the requested
    command (closes: #682508).
  * debconf.py: Don't pass sys.executable as an argument to the frontend
    (closes: #304572).  This may break compatibility if the importing
    program isn't an executable with a #!, but that seems unlikely for
    programs shipped in Debian.

  [ Gioele Barabucci ]
  * Remove previous_module from confmodules again (cf. 1.4.27/1.4.28;
    closes: #1040127).

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Romanian (Remus-Gabriel Chelu; closes: #1039068).

  [ Programs translations ]
  * Romanian (Remus-Gabriel Chelu; closes: #1039069).
