Bzzt.  I'm talking about "friendly fire", in the uberdpkg stuff (I use
aptitude, but it would affect dselect et al too, I suppose), like the
persistent breakage in apache-common.  I don't mind if things fail at
the command line; it's just really annoying to have the same script
fail several times in one session because it repeatedly tries to
configure.
