#1125: debathena-dns-config install hangs on squeeze

-----------------------+--------------------------------
If you install debathena-dns-config on squeeze, you get something like
this:
{{{
Starting domain name service...: bind9resolvconf: Error:
/etc/resolvconf/run/interface is not a directory
invoke-rc.d.debathena-orig: initscript bind9, action "start" failed.
}}}
This hangs with a defunct bind9.postinst process that can't be Ctrl-C'd.
If you go and kill the perl debconf frontend that was wrapping the
postinst, then the install proceeds with
{{{
dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal
(Terminated)
configured not to write apport reports
Setting up resolvconf (1.46) ...
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf'
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf/interface'
}}}
at which point aptitude does the "trying to recover" thing by re-trying
setting up bind9, which succeeds, which finally permits installing
debathena-dns-config.
I've reproduced this on linerva/linerva-dev/linerva-test and tyger.
