However, there isn't actually a 0006-Add-an-APT-plugin.patch file in the diff. There is a 0002-Add-an-APT-plugin.patch file in the diff and it looks to me (based off looking at the yakkety diff of the package in -proposed) like the multiple debconf connections work is included in the 0002 patch. If that is correct I'm happy to accept the package into -proposed with the typo in the changelog, I just want to confirm we really are getting the fix for this bug in zesty. Thanks!
