Let me summarize the features of debconf that seem to apply to using in
in an installer:
* Debconf reduces user interaction to a series of questions and
answers.
* The questions are stored in a simple file format.
* Some glue logic code is used to cause the questions to be asked. It
is provided along with the questions, and communicates using a simple
protocol.
* Questions may be presented to the user via a variety of frontends.
* Questions are prioritized, and the user may elect to only see
questions of a given priority.
* The answers are stored in a backend database, which can be of a
variety of formats. The database can be pre-seeded with defaults.
