[Bug 1018884] [NEW] debconf: setting console triggers update-initramfs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

after launching a fresh quantal instance of the cloud images in EC2, I then ran:
  apt-get install pastebinit
and saw:

$ sudo apt-get install pastebinit

Clearly, pastebinit should not have caused an update of the initramfs.

I asked in #ubuntu-devel and cjwatson made some suggestions on debugging what is causing this.  See
