Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Some packages stall on installing. These are packages that generate multiple debconf prompts (the prompts may be empty and so not user visible, e.g. gconf2-common).

  [Test Case]
  1. Remove gconf2-common (warning, may uninstall packages like gnome-terminal):
  $ sudo apt purge gconf2-common
  2. Download the debian package of Chrome from www.google.com/chrome<http://www.google.com/chrome>.
  3. Install the package (browser will prompt, or double click on package in Nautilus).

  Expected result:
  Chrome installs correctly.

  Observed result:
  The installation hangs on 51%.

  [Regression Potential]
  The debconf conde was modified to support multiple requests. This could expose other debconf issues or break other .deb install code.
