quota package and wishlist #67556
The severity of bug #67556 (package quota) should be changed from wishlist to important since it fixes a problem which makes the package unusable on big endian architectures (getopt() returns int(-1) and not char(-1)). Or at least it should be advisable to separate the getopt() bug from the rest and submit it as important.

The basic idea is to record automatically all the answers given during the first installation and retrieve them from a db when installing identical machines. Are you doing that with expect?

At this point, it's just as if they've asked the questions and retrieved the user responses. If a particular response variable doesn't exist in the install-response file, the script can still prompt just like normal, though this ruins the effect. Hmm... and, if we run dselect, dpkg, apt-get or whatever it is without any system-wide configuration script, it could generate a skeleton file with the user's answers logged. This way we should be able to carefully configure the first machine, cut away the variable configuration fields from the generated configuration script, and feed the rest of the machines with it.
