I've looked at it again and tinkered with it a little bit. It didn't
really "detect" the hardware I have, but I think that's only because
their db is not very complete yet.

wisdom teeth extraction .... ugh....

hopefully we'll be able to build on that so this won't take a year :-)

assuming a c-debconf is finished, do you still think we'll have a
c-debconf and a perl-debconf? I'd think we'd want to eventually only
have one implementation....
i'll try to spend some time to come up with some more detailed interface
design descriptions in the next week or so for discussion, although i'll
actually be travelling for most of that time.
