Python: debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

[santiagobasulto]

Helllo folks, I just built from python:2.7-jessie and got the message:

debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed

I ended up installing it anyways for other purposes (and I assume most people might do it). Isn't it worth to put it in the image? Or it's a something I should ask to the people from docker-library/buildpack-deps?

Is there any harm (barring the warning) caused by not having this package installed?

No, it has not yet stopped anything from running. Just a warning, and nothing else.

Since this is just a warning, there is no need for us to install an extra package that users cannot remove later.

This is just a warning.

Great! Asking just in case.
