Would that be reasonable? There are a lot of reasons to put it in debconf, I agree. One reason not to is the cdebconf transition, but I guess we'd have to deal with that for lots of other stuff in debconf if it ever happens. So if you want to put it in debconf, that's ok with me. I thought of one wrinkle that needs to be dealt with. For d-i we will want to be able to redirect the traditional apt/dpkg/postinst textual output to the syslog. I think your current code /dev/nulls it, and the only way I can think to get it out is using another FD or something. There could be another command line switch specifying a FD to redirect that output to. -- see shy jo
