I've been toying about with rootskel, doing things like this:

/usr/share/debconf/frontend /usr/bin/main-menu
And di-init looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_set debconf/priority high
/usr/bin/udpkg --configure cdrom-detect
/usr/bin/udpkg --configure cdrom-retriever
/usr/bin/udpkg --configure anna
db_set debconf/priority medium
I.e. what I want to do is try to configure these things and then going
to the menu. When I boot from the image I get from this, I get
(Reading database...)

CAPB backup
Then it hangs.
Somewhere there's a deadlock (and installing strace and testing debconf
and anna confirms this) but I don't understand why and where. Could it
be a timing problem?
I know that Thorsten has had problems with the progress bars in
cdrom-checker, that something hangs. I wonder if it's the same problem.
