Hmm. Back to this...
debconf (1.2.25) unstable; urgency=low
.
* To find .debconfrc, look up the home directory of the current user with
getpwuid, instead of trusting $HOME, which is untrustworthy thanks to
programs like sudo. Closes: #181288
FWIW, I have one user in my server which uses nano to edit a file under
another user id. I guess I could be bitten by this, too.
