Ok, so you're not seeing it even without debug mode.

So your ui_msg is inside an if clause inside the post-activate phase:

set assp_base       ${prefix}/var/ASSP
...
post-activate {
...
     if {![file exists ${assp_base}/assp.cfg]} {
         ui_msg "
....
"
     }
}

The only reasons I can see for the message not showing up are 1) the  
file ${prefix}/var/ASSP/assp.cfg exists, or 2) you are using direct  
mode instead of image mode and therefore there is no activate phase.
