Hi.

It seems dialog has some advantages over whiptail, e.g.:
- ncurses is more likely to be installed rather than libnewt (thus less 
dependencies for dialog)
  similarly, more packages seem to support only dialog than only whiptal
- it redraws when then terminal window chances in size
- one can use to mouse to click buttons/etc.


So perhaps it makes sense to prefer that in the dependecies of the package and
when chosing either of the two when both are installed?


Cheers,
Chris.
