I'm not sure if it matters, and sorry if this is getting too far off
topic, but I'm not following this as the reason. It's invoking
/usr/share/debconf/frontend, which at least for a debian system I'm
glancing at, is a perl script, so of course the perl isn't going to
honor 'set -x'. But if you mean that that perl reinvokes the original
postinst shell script, I don't see how it could do so; how does it know
which script to run?
