Took me a minute to realize what you were saying.... but that is
(almost) doable now with the new setup package I'm putting together.  In
this case, a package would use dialog for dialog boxes, and would create
a file:

/sbin/setup.d/75.mypkgconf

Which would react to parameters:

bridge|firewall|router|etc....) run stuff
name) echo "Setup my new package!"
*) std_usage....

However, what you said makes me think.... dialog is theoretically
directly replacable by Xdialog; what would it take to put Xdialog on the
box and have the dialogs show up on a remote X session?  Time to go find
out....

Perhaps we should go examine?  I've had a hard time figuring how
HTML-only would be flexible enough...
