Firstly, the generated images pre-depend on debconf; and a
missing dependency means all bets are off as far as installation
goes.
Secondly, _all_ user interaction needs to happen using
debconf; not doing so is a serious policy violation at this stage of
the game.
Given these, not having a non-debconf mechanism to interact
with the users is not what I would consider a bug.
