Hi,

We aren't wedded to the toolkit at all, we'll be happy to have
multiple UIs and I personally think QT/E would look quite nice.
Everything in the UI goes through cdebconf (find it on cvs.debian.org
under debian-installer/tools/cdebconf).  That is where you want to
look to get started.

Thanks for the interest,
