Description of the change

casper-reconfigure fails when run within a ubiquity target-config hook because the environment is such that debconf thinks there's already an active frontend and so disregards the "-fnoninteractive" option to dpkg-reconfigure. Unsetting a few environment variables is enough to dispel this confusion.
