It seems you don't understand me - I don't think, thad dialog tool is bad, I 
just don't wanna keep 2 packages, which do the same job - whiptail and dialog. 
If there is a way to remove whiptail then I will be happy to do this. But 
problem is, that 3 important packages in Ubuntu depends on whiptail: pppoeconf 
and modconf depends on whiptail | whiptail-provider and friendly-recovery 
depends on whiptail
Also ubuntu developers decided to include whiptail in ubuntu main archive 
instead of dialog :(
So, maybe I should report RFE bugs against these packages about depending on 
whiptail | dialog (like most other packages), if you think, that dialog is 
better, that whiptail ?
Or maybe dialog can be whiptail-provider (if dialog package included whiptail 
functionality then it could have Provides: whiptail-provider in debian/control 
file)?

Please change deborphan recommends to whiptail | dialog
