yes, that's what I want to do. My aim is to use FAI (Fully automated installation, cf. http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/) for the installation of potato. Currently FAI tries to install the packages non-interactively with the default values (using various heuristics such as '(yes "" | dpkg --configure -a') and configures the system with cfengine. It would be nice to supply a native debconf method for configuration. I will be absent for a couple of weeks in the near future, so don't bother if I do not reply to emails. Thanks, Thomas
