Public bug reported:
One thing missing from Ubuntu is a unified configuration manager like
YaST or DrakConf from other distributions. For system parameters Ubuntu
relies mostly on Debconf system which is not quite user friendly for
regular users and the few frontends for it are chaotic and somewhat
incomplete. For desktop and some system parameters it relies on Gnome
configuration tools (or KDE's), which is problematic for the reason it's
not consistent across different desktops and some of those may not even
be present (when using say WMaker or even Xfce).
Therefore I'd say there is a need for a centralized and efficient
configuration manager, which would connect with Debconf and mostly
replace Gnome and KDE configuration tools. It might be even good for the
image of Ubuntu, since now it could be actually interpreted as a highly
customized and polished Debian. Not to mention no difference from other
distributions since there are no major (and visible by users) Ubuntu-
specific tools.
