Public bug reported:

I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure inside emacs' terminal emulator - M-x term.
It said:

Unknown terminal: eterm-color
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.
debconf: whiptail output the above errors, giving up!

With Google, I found that '/usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color' is provided by
ncurses-term.  I installed it, solving the problem.

So the package emacs24 (I have not checked other emacs versions) should
'recommend' (or at least 'suggest') ncurses-term (or another package that
solves the problem.
